I talked with a representative from Verizon yesterday regarding Fios, their FTTP (fiber to the premise) package. He informed me that Verizon's plans are to have fiber everywhere in 10-15 years but that they really want to have it sooner.

He couldn't officially tell me much about when my house was going to be available, but that areas in Tampa where the fiber had been laid should be online within a month or two. He also did not discount the fact that I saw Verizon workers dig up my yard and put down orange conduit and cable. Orange conduit = Fiber. I know this to be true because the bastards sawed through my cable to do so.

The rep didn't have any ideas of packaged deal such as VOIP or video but stated that they were looking at delivering TV within a few years.

If things go the way I hope, I really would like to become the premiere fiber-blogger in the sphere. If they don't, then you can all bite me and suffer through many more cat pictures.
