Server Issues. We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. As of 12:05 PM ET our provider has moved us to a new server.
Things seem to be running better on this new server. However in trying to diagnose the issue (before finding out it was a hardware issue) we made some system changes which we need to undo. So if you find any issues or errors please let us know in the Operations Center Forum.
Thank you for your patience! Sorry for the issue!

I live in a community outside of Dallas that was among the first to get FIOS. I had it installed in a new house my wife and I just built, with the $49.95 15down/2up internet package, and it is phenomenal service. I'm self-employed and office from home, and in my former office I had a partial T-1. In effect I had the full T-1 because no one else was on it and the tech didn't dial it back. Anyway, I went from paying $384 a month for 1.5 Mbps down to paying $49.95 a month for ten times that bandwidth. Tests I've run with FIOS show an honest 15 Mbps down.
Since I also had Voom installed in my house, like everyone else I've been looking for alternatives. I called FIOS, and they don't have any specific information on alternatives as of yet. The only deal is still a small break on D* if you order it through Verizon.
But, clearly they do have plans. Their salespeople say maybe later this year.
Will Verizon be the new V* and new HDTV Leader?
Verizon will be making a big push into the DC/Northern Virginia area. In fact, Franchise Agreement discussions between Verizon and my County Cable and Telecommunications Commission started in December/January (see the below linked minutes - III. Verizon). I will be taking a more proactive role and volunteering to help bring FioS/FTTP to this area.
Exciting times in this this neck of the woods:
1. Adelphia out/Comcast in
2. D* and/or E* to roll out a respectable HD lineup by end of year
3. Verizon (V*) to implement FioS/FTTP and video
