FiOS Coming to New York City

Rob, one of my fellow board members at NYCwireless, reports that Verizon is installing FiOS in his building on 23rd Street and 7th Avenue. This is a big deal, because it seems to be the first (or one of the first) times FiOS is available in NYC, and should give Time Warner Cable a good run for their money. I’m no fan of Verizon, but high-speed internet is high-speed internet—we’re talking 15Mbps+, versus TWC’s 8Mbps.

Verizon is installing FiOS in the building. The cable spools are now hanging from the ceiling and tonight a cabinet appeared in the stairwell.
