For anyone reading this and who is curious as to when ORLANDO will get FiOS...the answer may be "NEVER"! Yup, its very true. Being the entertainment biz in Orlando, I have asked a leading Tampa Marketing Exec (from Verizon) and he was very clear that FiOS may "never" come to Orlando because of the infrastructure and Verizon is following their "legacy network" which does not include Orlando. They are planning to spend $23 Billion on 17 areas and that does not include Orange County, FL. The closest FiOS service is Lakeland, FL and the general Tampa area.
