My wife was commenting about all the Verizon trucks around town. I checked the web, because I was curious what they were doing. How cool is this - my town of Needham MA is one of the first in the country to get Verizon FiOS. FiOS is their Fiber-to-the-home, with many glorious Mbps of speed. (15 Mbps / 2 up, or 30 Mbps / 5 up). It is even cheaper than my current cable modem. We have Comcast at the moment, which just blows. I've signed up to get my notification email, and I'll be dumping Comcast as the first day I can. I'm pretty geeked out.
Congrats on reaching nerdvana.

Well its 2006 and no FIOS to Needham yet. More broken promises. It kills me to see FIOS is Here trucks a mile away in newton.

FIOS is now available in Needham. Verizon opened it up April 30.

RS is correct, FIOS is finally in Needham! My order has already been placed.

I wish they would get FIOS TV going as well. It seems I'd still have to use Comcast for cable TV. I hope they get that soon, and then I can just use Verizon for phone, TV, and internet.

We won't get FIOS TV until Needham grants Verizon the franchise agreement. I'm not even sure if the proposal has been submitted yet.

Update: According to an email I got last night from Verizon, Needham Board of Selectmen approved a video license for FIOS TV. So it should be coming soon for us.
