If you, like me, live in a part of the City of Richmond (or anywhere, really) that has yet to see fiber optic internet connectivity in your neighborhood, there’s a simple way to check if it’s coming soon:
Verizon’s Virginia Community Page contains a link to a PDF-format schedule of their construction plans for FiOS. I’ve not linked to the schedule directly because it’s typically bi-monthly. It looks like they’re finally getting close to my humble Seminary Avenue, but I can’t help feeling like they’ll have something newer and better by the time they finally get to my block.
There are pages for states other than Virginia as well. It’s a shame you can’t get to these pages more directly or common-sense-like. When you check for FiOS availability in your area and there is none, all they do is try to hawk their DSL service instead.
no parts of my neighborhood on that schedule fo shizzle.
