When I first checked for FiOS availability here at the Fairfield, it was a no go. I was a little disappointed, but I figured it was because I was living in an apartment building. But last week I checked for FiOS in my new house and it’s it not available there either. What’s up with that?
Frankly, I’m not sure that I’d switch. The FiOS HDTV signal is supposed to be better because it’s less compressed than Cablevision/Optimum, but getting FiOS means dealing with the Verizon pit of despair for billing, service and technical support.
I did some research and found that Verizon came to a deal for the FiOS service with the Town of Babylon in 2008. Is there a separate agreement they need to reach with our little village?
Anyone know what the real deal is? Come on, fess up!
Based on our experience in the Incorporated Village of Mineola, yes, there is probably a separate agreement Verizon needs to reach.
We were the second house in Mineola to get FIOS. When we moved here to New Rochelle, we suffered through cablevision for about 8 weeks before FIOS appeared. We switched back immediately.
Verizon customer service for FIOS is superb; not need to despair, there.
hey my family has lived in babylon village for a long time and we believe the reason is because the movie theater in the village is owned by cablevision. so cablevision could always threaten to pull the theater if the village allowed fios so i believe the village made an agreement with cablevision to not allow fios in babylon village. weve been having problems with cablevision and are unsure what to do considering we basically cant switch to anythign else besides dsl
