Its available in New York, but not my area of New York, oddly the guy that installed my FiOS told me FiOS TV was available right across the street, but when I call in they tell me its not.
Did that guy win anything or get a trophy or anything?
It could be right across the street. We had a problem where I called months(!) earlier and they said we didn't have it. Then, finally I figured out a neighbor already had it installed before. Called up and they said we still couldn't get it so told them the neighbor has it and they had an installer come out and check and sure enough it was. Every company has problems yet the thing with Verizon is if you have particular problems its insane. They might not even be able to solve it unless you cancel the service for a week or two. It can be that bad. If its all good however, then the FIOS/TV is great stuff. I still recommend it.
You can find out by looking up the address(s) of others on your street via the FIOS/TV availability look-up service on their web site. It might not show your address but it might show another farther down the street. If it lists anything else on your street or even especially anything at the corners its highly probable you have it. That's what I did to find out. We had also heard a neighbor had it for a while too which helped. With the Verizon trucks on the street too for a week or two - and still not showing up in their system after no matter how much time is just plain wrong.
