We've seen Verizon push its fiber-based FiOS TV and high-speed internet services in some
rather odd locations, but at least store patrons won't be baffled when they see the demonstration kiosks in the carrier's new Columbia, Maryland store. Located at 8835 Columbia 100 Parkway in Suite B, the store offers up a "home theater setting where shoppers can relax in plush chairs and see for themselves what all the excitement is about as they experience FiOS TV on high-definition TVs." Better still, subscribers can swap or drop off FiOS TV set-top-boxes / remotes at the store, and they can even phone up friends in the southeast and brag about their proximity to the service. And you know they (you) will.

Dig it. I work litterally 3 minutes away from here although I live in Towson, MD (about 35 mins from this location). If only they would put FiOS in my neighborhood already! Look out Comcast, your time draws nigh.

People are talking about FIOS in MA. One guy told me everyone on his street but one person has made the swtitch. They are sick and tired of the cable company and their greedy ways for so many years. They're getting more for their money now. And the verizon crew out in the field are very nice.

FiOS rocks. I had the service in NJ, before I moved to Silicon Valley. It's not only much faster, but MUCH more reliable Internet access.
I just can't understand why Verizon has ignored Silicon Valley. There are lots of people here who have money, and would kill for a decent connection. C'mon Verizon... bring some FiOS joy to northern california!

Awesome! I need to drop off a SD box now that I've swapped it for another HD box. This is walking distance from me. I
