It will probably never make it to the little villages in the Mohawk Valley.

Unfortunately not. Only those markets that have pre-existing franchise agreements are being wired up with FIOS.

I live in a little berg outside of Richmond, VA. I’ve had FIOS for six years. 75Mbps up, 75 Mbps down. Superb signal, and service. Screw AT&T.

All this advertising is about competition, and the only serious competition is Google fiber.

https://fiber.google.com/newcities/

All of the Internet providers are stuck with a tremendous amount of legacy infrastructure, whether their forefathers were phone companies or cable TV.

I was selling dark fiber 20 years ago, and most of it is still laying in the ground doing nothing.

When Google fiber moved into Austin, suddenly AT&T doubled everyones’ Internet speed “for no charge”.

Just more marketing bloviating.
