I am not a splicer … My title is a Switching Equipment Tech… but its also in a seperate group called COEI … or Central Office Equipment Installation. The groups sole perpose is to rid verizon of outside groups for install work. We are currently focused on the FIOS or FTTP project for all eastern PA and some WV. ---

Whitey, what area are you in? I don’t know what the plans for FiOS deployment are, but I can tell you where I worked. One of the areas is already lit up and gaining customers rapidly. Most of the customers I talked to are very happy with the internet speed at 5 Mbps and everyone comments about how clear the telephone calls are. SlowCivic, it is nice to talk to someone that is involved in the same historical project. FTTP IS the network of the future and I cannot wait until we(Verizon) offers video/television services. I can only hope that we put fiber in Elizabeth. ❌ ---

> [@whitey](#): > > i am in the imperial area. we will probably never get it, my hope is for Ether over copper first actually verizon signed some sort of city agreement type deal that stated that they will get the outer area’s without any broadband … the broadband service before any other groups could.

Verizon has been up to something in my circle…both Verizon H2’s and some trucks have been around for the past couple weeks, looks like they’re going to tear up the bottom of our driveway to lay some lines but last time I checked we still can’t even get DSL.

to the premise. Possibly a backbone to the CO downtown. Glenshaw? We haven’t worked there, but as my colleague grnteg98 pointed out, another crew may have. We have primarily worked south of Pittsburgh, but into the city itself. Several years ago, many plans of homes had fiber runs pre-installed. My brother in law lives in a plan in cranberry township that has fiber underground, but nobody to light it up. Verizon has H2s? I want one… ❌ Where did you see them?
