[quote="ihearyou"][quote="jimmy"]Does anyone know when Cranbury will be able to take advantage of the Verizon Fios services? Right now it seems we are only able to get the Comcast services.[/quote]

I know two people fairly senior at Verizon corporate in NYC who looked into it for me and told me "no time soon," not even on the long term schedule.

That information was a year ago so things could have changed, but not sure why it would have.

Comcast is ridiculously bad.  I had my IT group put equipment on the network to monitor performance and it is all over the board, frequently a fraction of the supposedly "guaranteed" minimum, and frequently losing connectivity for brief periods entirely -- not "outages" but loss of ping for up to 30 seconds at a time that messes up anything that requires a persistent connection.  I have done speed tests that compare results with aggregate national results and rate my Comcast signal an “F” lower than 92% of all results in the country.  And for this, if you don’t get forced into their “bundle,” I pay almost $80/month when the national average is $40.[/quote]
