Jeff Pulver and some of his friends are Verizon FiOS Customers:
Just caught up with the Verizon Policy Blog's recent post about their 1.1 million FiOS customers.
Seems that at least 25 people out of the 1.1 million customers are active bloggers.
Looking at list I noticed a number of friends were included. And I have to say I appreciated seeing the kind words written by John 'CZ' Czwartacki about myself and my friends.
Just for the record I continue to be a satisfied Verizon FiOS customer and I am looking forward to giving Fios TV a try.

Daryll, As a Time Warner cable customer I'm curious about what your problem with the Fios AUP is?
I run high-speed 10m/768 cable in my home/office with direct connection from my cable modem to a isa2004/SBS2003 server, 16 port switch, then 3 desktop pc's, 1 voip server (Asterisk-Trixbox with 4 voip lines (Aust-usa-uk) and 3 polycom handsets and a linux webserver with minimal traffic.
I've never heard boo from Time Warner about this though when you consider the latest pdf reader is 23mb web/voip is probably the least of their issues.
Cheers,
Dean

Hi Jeff,
We've met before at a Network2 party in LA a while back.
I'm a FIOS user, and in fact have blogged about it.
I love the data service. I'd like them to be a bit less restrictive in the AUP, but I understand that trade off.
I've been less impressed with FIOS TV. It's clear it could be a great service. The quality and the reliability of the signal is fabulous. They also seem to have some forward thinking ideas of mixing IP and content.
The problem is their immaturity in the content business clearly shows. They fall down on their guide data and their DVR. I'm hoping they improve that process with the new media guide that's supposed to roll out this summer. I don't know what I'm going to do about their DVR. The new Tivo HD looks promising.

I wish they'd drag FiOS to my part of Alexandria/Kingstowne, Virginia
I keep asking and I keep getting blanks.
But then, we don't even have DSL in the 703-971-xxxx exchange, so all my broadband dollars go to Cox.

I have FiOS Internet and love it. I'd love to have FiOS TV but I live in Norwood and - as Chris mentioned - we don't have the TV license. However, I *may* be moving to Dedham, which DOES have a FiOS TV license!

I desperately want to be a FIOS TV customer, but Massachusetts is a weird state to live in. Verizon has to get a town by town video license.
