In checking the schedules, your address is not on any of the work orders in the system through early fall. The serving office for your area is in Manassas, and as you know it will take a while to get from there to your community. The good news is that the Bristow area is the preliminary stages of engineering, and we should probably see some jobs begin coming out by the end of 2008 or early 2009 (providing we continue to make good progress). ]]>May 8th 2008 11:56AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/verizon-to-take-on-comcast-in-manassas-virginia/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/verizon-to-take-on-comcast-in-manassas-virginia/May 8th 2008 1:20PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/verizon-to-take-on-comcast-in-manassas-virginia/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/verizon-to-take-on-comcast-in-manassas-virginia/May 8th 2008 2:04PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/verizon-to-take-on-comcast-in-manassas-virginia/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/verizon-to-take-on-comcast-in-manassas-virginia/
There is "Manassas", and then there's "City of Manassas". A LOT of western Prince William County is called "Manassas" (by name and/or by post office), but it's not in the City. This press release is regarding the City (where >I< live!), not Bristow or Gainesville or Linton Hall (or Nokesville or Sudley Manor or Haymarket or Evergreen or ...). If Verizon has a cable franchise to provide FIOS in Prince William County, that's unrelated to THIS announcement.

THREE YEARS??? ***sobbing***
I registered on the FIOS web site for notification probably 2 years ago now, and other than an email confirming my registration I've never heard boo out of Verizon (though I DID know this having watched the City Council session on tv). Maybe I'll go register AGAIN... :)
