A company contracted to install FTTH in my area looks to be almost finished. I called both Frontier my current DSl provider and New Visions Communications a new provider that recieved a grant from NYS to install FTTH in this area. Frontier says they have no idea what I'm talking about and New Visions thinks it's them but couldn't find any info about what's going on but that they would be connecting people to the service at the end of Sept? Which has come and gone. ??????????????
Get this though, I stopped to talk with the crew installing all this for a few seconds a little while back to ask if this install was for Frontier. They said it was. They were wrapping and bundling the new fiber line with the existing Fiber backhaul to Frontier's DSLAMs and the regular POTS lines. Which would make sense if it was Frontier. If this was New Visions wouldn't Frontier be like "Don't touch our stuff" and would't the new lines be separate?
So, either Frontier is installing fiber to get ahead of New Visions to stop from hemorraging customers and one hand doesn't know what the other is doing; This is New Visions installing FTTH with the money they got from that grant and for some reason is wrapping their cable around Frontier's: Or this is some rogue internet providor that's just messing around with everyone.
