Verizon has wired the town of Hempstead
on Long Island with fiber optic cables.
Now they want to supply TV programming,
and Internet connections. They also want
use their Internet connection for your telephone
calls using third party programming.  I think they
will also let you use their normal dial up phone
connections if you prefer.

They say they have this system working in other
parts of the country...   Anyone using these
services?  Any info (good or bad) or advice
about how well it is doing.

My son is considering it in Fairfax County VA.
Some kind of package, internet, TV, phone, I think
the suggestion was $39 per each item.  He hasn't
made a decision.

My highrise condo was fiber optic wired quite a
number of years ago in anticipation of cable
internet, it was done by the cableTV company (then
Jones, now Comcast).  I used their package for
internet/TV for awhile, it was pretty high priced,
a phone was not available as part of the package.

Now I use Verizon dsl, use Verizon hard wire
phone, use Verizon cellular, they were all
acquired separately at different times. I am not
sure I want to put them in the same bag. I still
use a very low cableTV tier for decent reception
in the highrise, that is still with Comcast, I
suspect Comcast eventually will make an effort to
enter into competition with Verizon and offer me a
telephone system.

I am counting on the lowest subscription price
winning my favor.
