Believe it or not I can sell it all day long and I still cant get it myself in Quincy. Rural towns were first chosen because its far easier to string lines on poles than it is to run underground, Boston wont have it for a while. But its more than that,each town has the power(or comcast has the influence) to let FIOS in or not. They also are well paid for the privalege. Now that FIOS has shown what a benefit it is alot more towns have jumped on and signed up...but it takes months or longer to wire a town and longer than that to negotiate. Given the economy Verizon has also cut back on its towns, slowed the scheduled open dates etc. But right now we are taking 60-75% of the market and the gap is widening. The commercials are true,lol. Fitchburg and Milford open in the next couple weeks, Westford too. Anyone from these towns or where existing service exists can contact me, I have the best deals in town! Thanks
Please, don't get me going. Here in New Hampster, Gov Lynch and the legislature tried to put the screws to Verizon tax wise and they simply said GFY and left the state. Now we're stuck with 3rd world telecom from Fairpoint and sadly, Comcast.
