Why is it so difficult to find out when Verizon FIOS TV will be available in my area?

FIOS internet is available but the service department can't provide a date.

    Verizon is expanding the FIOS as fast as they can. They can only place fiber in places where they have been given the permission by the local PUC offices. Once given permission, then the Outside Techs have to place the main fiber line for the areas, the CO Techs have to build the relay racks to receive/send the fiber signal. Then the Splice Service Techs can begin to fill the individual orders. To find out if it is in your area go to Verizon.com, click on FIOS, then put in your phone number (if Verizon customer), if not put in your address. If it isn't in your area you will be asked to put in your contact info for Verizon to contact you when it is available to your location.

    Basically it all boils down to governmental politics as usual.

    Since you say that FIOS Internet is alrady avaliable, the TV should not be far behind. Again, it is politics as usual. Once Verizon files with the local PUC hearings would be scheduled for other video providers will have the opportunity to say why they should/should not be given permision. Then the PUC will go into deliberation to grant/deny the request. Once again it all boils down to politics as usual.

    the wonderful thank you to do it fairly is to ask for the installation, no count if it fairly is on the industry they are going to set up it for you, if not they are going to inform you over the telephone and enable you to appreciate whilst it will be waiting for you area. as far as everywhere, it is going to by no skill take place. I stay in Vermont and Verizon definitely pulled the plug in our area using fact they don't see any financial make the main of staying interior the agricultural area, they actually offered it to a business enterprise from North Carolina. thank you to preserve your clientele Verizon! We see what drives you, funds not looking after the clientele.
