As Service Gaps Remain, City Says Verizon Broke Promise on FiOS
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/27/nyregion/new-york-city-and-verizon-battle-over-fios-service.html?ref=nyregion
When New York City was preparing to let Verizon offer
its high-speed FiOS Internet service in 2008, a city
councilwoman, Gale A. Brewer, warned that "New Yorkers need to
know whether they are going to wait three years or six years."
For many frustrated residents, like Stephanie Brooks, it has
already been seven years and there is still no FiOS in sight.
Ms. Brooks, who owns a brownstone in the Bedford-Stuyvesant
neighborhood of Brooklyn, says she doubts that she and her
neighbors will ever have the kind of speedy Internet options
available in other parts of the city.
