Fios in Your Neighborhood? Don't Ask Verizon

FIOS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD? DON'T ASK VERIZON
[SOURCE: Washington Post, AUTHOR: Rob Pegoraro]
You'd be a little crazy to shop for a home without considering the Internet, phone and TV options awaiting in a new neighborhood. But good luck finding that out, especially when it comes to new services. But Verizon treats its plans for Fios like a state secret. Finding out when this service might show up at your door requires detective work or outright clairvoyance. The worst such example may be in the District. Verizon has rolled out Fios in every surrounding jurisdiction, but D.C. residents are still waiting to hear when it might reach their homes. Searching for service by typing in a District address on Verizon's Web site generated only a bland, meaningless assurance: "Our network is continually being expanded." Verizon's public relations department was no more informative. Verizon has been just as uncommunicative when responding to repeated requests for information from the D.C. government.
