My relatives in S Kingston are in the same situation. They are in a development right off South Road, but everything is underground in their development. Verizon came into the development and stopped after partially doing the conduit work. So no idea when VZ will come back and complete the...
I can tell you here on Long Island in my town they are busy as heck getting FIOS into all the MDUs. Co-op, Condo & rental apt buildings are all being wired for FIOS. Not sure what other areas of the country are witnessing.
Might try going the corporate route:
CEO: Ivan G. Seidenberg

Found this doing a quick search for Verizon & Office of the President. Good luck & hope your issue is resolved!
HEARD ON THE STREET: Verizon's Generation Gap - WSJ.com
And the $800 figure is an estimate from Moffett the cable jock, FYI! Who knows how accurate he really is, it could be less really, we don't know.
Frontier is buying a large portion of Verizon landline areas, some of which have FIOS. So this allows Verizon to cease offering FIOS once Frontier takes over. Frontier of course could continue, but the agreement with Verizon will be terminated and no ETF will take place.
I would assume PQ was always better in the Bronx & Brooklyn area, since you guys have been mostly all digital. I think only Broadcast Basic is analog and that will go away soon, if the FCC allows Cablevision to go all digital. Out the suburbs, we have so much analog relative to the city areas...
Comcast and Dish Network are putting it in their sports package tier, so whatever that costs on each provider. Probably a lot cheaper compared to FIOS.
Expand, as in going to other Cablevision systems, not just the Bronx & Brooklyn. Those 2 areas are the only ones getting all 30 HD channels at the moment. The rest will get them in June, as Cablevision expands the carrying of the channels throughout its systems.
Off the top of my head, HD Net Movies, HDNet, MGM HD, Smithsonian HD & WGN HD. I am sure there are a few others as well. The ones I listed FIOS carries, so the competition still has an up, but Cablevision is moving their butts finally.
Cablevision does use SDV. Right now is has been for Subscription Sports Packages (MLBEI), International Channel Packages & Premium HD movie channels. I'm curious to see if the Premium Channel HD feeds go to SDV and the rest aren't.
Correct only one HD channel, up to 10 games in HD per week. Unfortunately InDemand needs to get their butts in gear and add more HD feeds, to catch up to D*, which offers up to 40 HD games a week.
It is the same. Subs reported on DSLReports.com that once they signed up for MLBEI, they were getting NHLCI games, since Verizon authorized them to get the channels. So an added bonus is a few weeks of hockey, since the channels are the same.
Appears if any HD will be added, will probably be around June. Hopefully they'll move some HD channels off the same frequency and improve the picture quality of existing channels that are 4 deep in the same QAM channel, while adding more HD in June. Since 16 analog channels will give them a...
Good luck, I would have gone with a Linksys WRT54GL. In any event, good luck with the install and router once it arrives. Look forward to updates and good news.
Navychop,
If you have a Linksys and are happy with it, keep it. Just run cat 5 from it to the location of where the ONT might go. Leave the Actiontec in the box and keep it in a safe place, in case you ever get FIOS TV. You can bridge the Actiontec with the Linksys, if you get FIOS TV. I...
babybull,
Make sure the new channel additions say cablecard or digital cable box needed to receive the channels. If it only is digital cable box needed, then the channels are SDV and until Cablevision moves their ass and deploys the SDV adapter, you won't be getting the channels. If the...
