Is verizon fios not fiber to the home?

[metageek]

Yeah, and it's been so unprofitable they've stopped installing it in new towns.

[Gimpson]

But it seems like they're continuing the build out in areas they've started. I see Verizon FIOS trucks rolling around LA almost every day.

[metageek]

That would make sense; it probably costs less to extend service around an existing hub than to start from scratch.

[tibbon]

Any idea of which part is unprofitable? Too much bandwidth used, or is it that they aren't getting enough people in each area onboard?
