Verizon at least five years away from installing FiOS in Batavia
Every once in a while somebody asks me if I know when Verizon is going to install FiOS in Batavia.
FiOS is supposedly the fastest broadband internet service available.
When speaking with John Bonomo, a spokesman for Verizon out of New York City, about manhole covers, I asked him, "what about FiOS?"
He said it would be at least five years before FiOS is installed in Batavia.
Right now, Verizon has its hands full, he said, upgrading networks in cities where Verizon has the cable franchise.
"We have to get the work done where we have agreements," Bonomo said. "We've got to complete these upgrades first."
Batavia's cable franchisee is Time-Warner.
