Weird opposite experience. I’m suuuper rural NY (what others have described as ‘American Siberia’) and for some reason Verizon quietly started building out their fiber network in the past several years again, something even I didn’t anticipate happening.

I always knew they had Syracuse and Rochester as major FIOS markets, but I was blown away to see the trucks all the way this far north and on my very road. Last I’d known they’d said they had stopped all buildout. Next thing I know, they pick back up their pace, then pick up the homework they let Frontier finish for them with the Frontier FIOS buildout, too.
