FIOS availability
Double the speed and half the ping of cable, hell yeah.
But the system for checking availability sucks. It's designed around the premise that somebody moves into a particular apartment FIRST, and then settles for whatever internet is available there, rather than pre-screening apartments about their internet availability before signing a lease. Consequently they make it a pain to check the status of many different addresses. There should be a map. Or they shoud at least put the address input all in one box so I can just copy/paste instead of splitting it up into 5 boxes. The availability is pretty rare so I have to cast a pretty wide net -- I've already checked like 20 places. But I know some parts of LA have FIOS availability.
There is a map, but it's not from verizon. It's from users of dslreports.com, and fairly low-resolution due to the sparseness of the reports: http://www.dslreports.com/gmaps/fios
Why wouldn't verizon just expose to the public whatever internal map they're using to answer yes or no to queries about individual addresses?
