Does Verizon expect to be in the FIOS or the fiber communication delivery business 5 years from now? The installation technicians in the NYC are running today what is essentially temp service to complete a lot of installation orders, especially in commercial business areas.
The fiber terminals are so far and few between and placed in areas so remote it takes 1000 feet or more APC connected in increments of clear curve fiber to run over roofs down sides of buildings though parking garages tie wrapped to fences and gutter drains and other ridiculous things to get to the customer.
A typical fiber installation order in these areas from the MDU will pass multiple old copper terminals sometimes as many as 7 to 10 before reaching the customer. This tells me that the Fiber Network is a temporary solution to whatever is planned. These insane runs of clear curve fiber that are out in the elements and in the conditions they're in will not last 5 years. That's a fact!
No way to treat the customer.
