Wow, what was I thinking -- I should ignore the fact that the... let's call them "white areas" (you know, for contrast's sake) got FIOS early, hard, and fast (along with nice press releases,) but the "black areas" had to wait (but by far are largely still waiting) for years after until Verizon decides it's time to move in -- which totally doesn't seem like it's quite reluctantly at all only because it's technically part of "NYC."
Thanks for pointing out the complete absence of any discrepancies whatsoever between the premium services made available to the "white areas" and places that, despite having the denser population, just so happen to be "black areas." Nope, thanks for making it so clear that no ethnic group(s) are an after thought in this equation, or are being given the "second-class-service" for the "second-class-citizen" treatment at all.
Why I ever thought I had reason to complain is beyond me. My previous insinuation that this was some nefarious plot by verizon to play hide'n'seek with their service just seems way off because that's certainly what I was getting at.
