FTTP Training Video

[tyler0983]

@Giants732- Thank you, it really clairfied all of this for me.

[mrtld100]

Wow I hope verizon comes to my area and makes my neighborhood look like shit

[MrXclio]

@mrtld100 its either that or dial up,

[urimj]

and this cool guy with porn star attitude commenting while doing the video is fu*ing ridiculous LOL

[tyler0983]

why is it all done by hand

[panduitjacks]

@tyler0983 The neighbors are already pissed enough. Imagine them coming through with a backhoe.

[Giants732]

@tyler0983 because there are many other utilities underground, which include water, electric lines, gas lines/mains, other cable lines, and sprinklers, if you do all machine work you will end up fucking some of those lines up which quite recently a verizon fios UG company hit a gas line and a whole apt. complex blew up. any other questions?

[keitheric5]

wat eaver you say, boss

[tojivietnam]

FTTP 

[keitheric5]

Are these iligals?

[violetdav]

@keitheric5 Don't know about that, but I know you can't spell. Maybe you should be concentrating on self-education rather than people's immigration status.

FIOS IS AMAZING

[Sluecey]

In New England everything is union. So we don't even have it contracted out anymore.

[nickschoppers69]

people r catching on fios isnt wat its cracked up to be

[Draco04]

FIOS is what the future is gonna be

[nickschoppers69]

fios isnt the future fiber is the future verizon will never get a grip on that

[danejasper]

@nickschoppers69 FIOS is fiber.

[nickschoppers69]

@danejasper lmao duh but u can have the greatest network in the world and still be horrible at managing and maintaining it, and as far as how they treat customers well thats another story

[lloydma]

These contractors do the dirty work indeed. At Verizon, direct buried work is done by contractors. If it's aerial or underground (manhole) it will be done by Verizon Linemen. The splicing is done by Cable Splicing Technicians who typically top out (depending on the area) at $32-34/hour. Linemen are paid about $80/week less. Digging up your yard is well worth the hassle to get FiOS... it's sad to see that AT&T isn't hopping onto the FTTP yet. Better watch out, Verizon might steal their area!

[fireguye4]

you,d be surprised. not what you think

[asspop123]

haha seriously.. if it means that having better internet and better tv technology by cutting off some dirt and grass than by all means i want fios..

[dnave21]

Thats the nice part of fios every thing runs underground and not coax cables

[bennyn11]

it depends on the neighborhood. if you have telephone poles, they'll do it in the air.

and they use coax cables...

[AliateX]

the only coax cables that exist in the fios network are inside the actual house because you cannot make extreme bends with fiber optic cable.

[lakers2k6]

Probally not legal but they get the job done since Verizon dosent actually do any of the backbone work it is all contracted out

[JocktheBear]

Taking away union jobs..also, I never saw one Utility markout in this whole video..it's no wonder they cause so much damage to property and to other underground facilities. Amazed they actually posted this..

[AliateX]

nobody wants to pay the union 200$ a foot to dig through grass.

[shusted11]

must be a manager

[MRSketch09]

Thanks for showing us this..

[surfingsuicune]

This video is useless.

[pacmanghostx]

Thankfully in my neighbood they decided to spare our lawns and run the fiber along the existing telephone poles.

[amexnamedluis]

When verizon deployed fiber on my street, there wasn't that much of a mess. Is this street getting fiber deployed in it or are all these houses getting fiber to their homes?

[MACNJS]

That's definitely FIOS service being installed, but those sure don't look like Verizon employees installing it. What's the deal?

[dannyvideoman12]

Verizon isn't the only Fiber optic company in America

[MACNJS]

My mistake, you're right. I think I got Fiber To The Brain.

[blood08xbx]

no but it is verizon it said it on a sign and yes verizons services is called FIOS

[f9spinoy1]

Verizon hire contractors to do most the dirty labor buried wire services work.

[AliateX]

here the pay the sub contractors 8$ a foot, those guys look to have a few thousand feet open there, you do the math....if you get production you can make big money.

[MACNJS]

Are those diggers legal citizens?

[zreiscool]

thats not verizon fios ...

[Web2Guy]

You should get a tade better handle on exactly what you are installing. It is not a fttp cable...it is a fiber optic cable which is used in fiber-to-the-premise architecture
