FIOS fiber run stops at the entrance to my neighborhood

The fiber run for FIOS stopped literally at the entrance to our neighborhood. It has been several months now and it doesn't seem like Verizon is too concerned about offering us FIOS services. When can we expect to be hooked up? We live in the Hollybrook neighborhood off of Penns Hill Rd. in La Plata, MD. Does a petition help in instances such as this? The people I have talked to in this neighborhood and in adjacent Hardship Plantation are pretty angry right now (myself included.) Thanks.

Hi, there could be many reasons the run stopped at your neighborhood. Including but certainly not limited to:  permits from the city to dig, need for equipment installation on the streets or in the central offices, logistical issues, contracts, budget constraints (yes, even Verizon has budgets for projects), and the list goes on.
As to whether a petition would work or not is anyone's guess. It would definitely bring attention to the fact that a good portion of the neighborhood would be potential customers.  As to who you would present that petition to is questionable.

  • When using my new nano 7 with nike , my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run for over 30 minutes.It cancels/deletes my run/workout when the music stops.This has happened several times.How can I keep this from happening

    When using my new nano 7 with nike+, my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run/workout for over 30 minutes.  It also cancels/deletes that run/workout.  This has happened several times.  How can I keep this from happening?

    If possible I would arrange for a good service center to go over it. Hopefully they have a variety of parts in stock. They can test and verify all is working. The previous attempts are based on guesses by the person at the other end of the phone without diagnostic tests to assess the culprit. It is extremely unlikely for a webcam to fail & for it & a Mic to fail together should be an indicator to a good technician it is something else. EG Motherboard
    Take it to a servicing dealer and wait for it.

    Hi Mario,,,,
    I tried everything in your reply,,, thank you again,, I had done that once before and all was working great,,
    I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
    Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
    Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
    Please advise,???
    I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
    Thank you again

    iPad2 sync is fine.

    This sounds like a problem you should take up with Apple Customer Support.
    The other users like yourself here are not going to be able to help you with this problem.

  • When I click on a link to a file, (for instance a Filesonic link) I used to get asked if I wanted to run or download the file. Now it just goes straight to download. How can I stop it doing this? Thank you.

    Go to Tools -> Options -> Applications -> Search for your file format, .zip,for instance,
    Select ''' Always ask''' from drop down menu.

  • After I covered 250 miles I got the automated congratualtions, but now after every run I get the recorded message again saying I just covered another 250 miles. Can I reset or stop it without completly resetting everything?

    I run with the Nano and shoe sensor. After I covered 250 miles I got the automated congratualtions, but now after every run I get the recorded message again saying I just covered another 250 miles. Can I reset or stop it without completly resetting everything?

    Same issue here.  This is really disappointing.  I used to look forward to the milestone messages after each run, especially when I was surprised by a celebrity voice.  Now, it's the same thing every single time, "Congratulations on another 250 miles.  Way to go!" or something along those lines.  I was proud of the 250 mile mark, but please...I don't want to hear it every time! 
    I hope there's some movement on this issue.

  • Ipod 16g 2nd gen. had the waiting circle running for ages. the unit got hot. i reset it and the circumstances did not change.  i also did a dfu mode.  which stopped the spinning circle, but now the ipod is stuck on the apple. slide to unlock is stuck now.

    ipod 16g, 2nd gen had the spinning circle running for hours. the unit also go very hot.
    i performed a reset twice as well as a brand new reset to factory settings.  I still got the spinning circle.
    i also did a DFU.  brought me to the apple sign, followed by a spinning circle and a 'slide to unlock' page that will not slide.
    please advise.

    Likely a batter problem since high temperatures destroy a battery.  I wold make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to see what they say.  It is free except for your time.

  • Whenever I truy to load a picture or video file, it will stall until I start moving the mouse around. When I stop moving the mouse, it stalls again. I am running Firefox 4.0.1 and Vista

    Any picture or video file I try to load just stalls (with the exception of sound which works OK). I move the mouse and it plays or loads. I stop moving the mouse it stalls again.

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • Verizon tech support for FIOS - how to get around the attitude.

    Most are helpful, but some are rather disdainful of macs or linux, or act surprised if you have more than one computer.
    A: Well, if I only had one computer, why would I need a router?
    Linux does not need any special support, and in fact runs quite beautifully on FiOS and the router without any setup at all. It recognizes the router and self-adjusts with DHCP auto. Actually it's much faster and less flawed than Windows.
    Linux doesn't have any recognized or known virus. At all. FUD is generated at various times during calls to FiOS support when I make the mistake of mentioning linux. They act like it's going to break their network.
    I'm an Admin from MSFT, and MSFT uses linux. Extensively. They just don't like to talk about it. "Seven" = NT 7.0. NT is MSFT's version of UNIX, which they licensed fom Novell.
    So, even microsoft contains unix code. Tada.  Lets' drop the operating system arguments for now though.
    I have three Dell servers, six Dell and HP desktops, and two laptops. All but two of them run linux full time, and only one is dual boot. Both laptops run linux exclusively and so do three of the desktops and ALL my servers. I've never in 12 years had a linux virus, and I never will. No, I don't even run a firewall, and there is no linux antivirus software accepted by the linux distributions, because it's useless. Not needed.
    All of these machines, XP, Vista, Ubuntu, Slackware, and Red Hat Server run on four brainless hubs, or switches. A switch is not capable of DHCP or DNS routing. They are passive devices which are not capable of blocking a router. They only stop working when they die. You can have switches [hubs] in ANY conceivable chain or configuration, and they still work the same, as they all take commands from whatever routers you have.
    The only router in my home is the verizon router. I have no need of others, but I've run dual and even triple routers before without a single problem. You set the extra routers to 192.168.2.1 instead of 1.1. Third router? 192.168.3.1. And so on. Painless.
    None of these devices have yet failed or ever blocked internet access, yet half the time when I call verizon FiOS, the tech people tell me to connect directly to the router with my laptop. I've always just TOLD them that I did, but I never ever did that. It's not necessary. If you can't connect to 192.168.1.1, the router is dead. checking hubs is an astoundingly simple task that only takes a second... you just go to any other computer on that hub, or plug in my laptop, and see if you can get through. I've had one hub fail in the last 8 years, and that didn't fool me for more than a minute. I replaced it and was back in biz without tech support help.
    ONLY in the instance where only ONE computer is down, does it make sense to isolate the router. Thus, the FiOS people are just trained to eliminate the obvious, but they also talk smack. MOCO? Why would I have a major OC24 type network connection in my home? I've been hit with just such questions. Wouldn't verizon know if I had a backbone connection through them???
    Here's the deal: Buy your own equipment, and get warranties. Unless the external box, ONT I believe they call it, has died, you're not likely to get a lot of support anyway - since verizon will not talk about anything other than their router and the ONT.  Save time and just be aware of your own eqiupment. I'm on my sixth day of having no FiOS since Verizon sent me a new also bad router and now I'm awaiting another replacement by the UPS people. Speed is not a hot button issue with verizon service apparently, but they are better than comcast.
    Good thing about verizon is that they don't appear to cap bandwidth, and for that I respect them no matter how much garbage I get from a few of the tech support staff. Even most of those people are pretty nice. One of them actually talked linux with me for a half hour, and that was a breath of fresh air.
    Verizon needs to realize that there are three to six times more linux operating systems in use now worldwide than all windows products combined. The US Army and US Navy have switched to linux systems and dumped windows. I'm shopping for another new desktop, and I'm only buying penguin computers. I won't buy "7" because I've seen the source code, and don't have a high opinion of it. Linux is more robust, and for whatever reason, MSFT still refuses to implement the System Five and UNIX security levels that are inherent to a safe Operating System, and a kernel component of unix. I don't see why not. NT is capable, but all suggestions to turn it 'on' are ignored.
    I want to see verizon get with the program and start to support linux. After all, it's fifteen times cheaper to maintain, and three times less expensive to develop for. Verizon would never have to deal with spyware and viruses from its users ever again. One day I hope verizon will wake up.
    In the meantime, it would be nice if the tech support at FiOS wouldn't misinform clients and customers about linux, macs, and having several computers in the home. There's nothing at all wrong with that. I just bought a netbook from you folks and I'm using that now to get online.

    All I have to say about that is, "People fear what they do not know." Everyone has a comfort zone. Some people's comfort zone is larger than others, or encompasses different aspects of life. Most Windows users aren't comfortable with Mac or Unix operating systems. Most English speakers aren't comfortable with foreign languages. Most two-year-olds aren't comfortable with spinach.

  • Is there a way to run part of the Pain() method once?

    I'm working on a paint program.
    I'm using AWT and Applet supplied by Java, and in the Paint method I have it drawing the UI and checking to see if this or that has been clicked to change color. Problem is, the Paint method is always running, and so the UI is always being redrawn, and so the color is always black, which is the last color to be changed.
    So, is there any way I can have it stop drawing the UI, and just checking the colors? Or is there another method to use to put the UI code in?

    You have only to move your switch block from paint method to mouseDown method: in this way you first assign correct value to currentColor variable.... then pain method will use the color you have already set.
    Notice that methods mouseDown and mouseDrag are deprecated: you should better use processMouseEvent and processMouseMotionEvent methods (see documentation of class Component to more details.
    Below the implementation I tried.

  • How can I allow a sub-vi to run independent of the main program once it has been called while still sending data to the sub-vi

    I have a main program where I call a sub-vi. In this sub-vi, there is a while loop that is used to wait for commands in the sub-vi. While the while loop is running, I cannot continue with normal operation of the main program. I would like get the sub-vi to run independently once it has been called, but not hold up the main program. As well, I need to still be able to send data to the sub-vi

    One way is to use VI Server, which has been mentioned by others. This will allow you to start another VI (by name) and run it entirely independently of the calling VI. This is a good way to start various independent VIs from a main menu, for example. None of the VIs thus called need have any connection to the others.
    Another way it to have the SubVI in a separate while loop on the calling VI's BD. Then, use a local var to start this sub VI from the main loop. The calling VI sets a local START bit and continues running. The sub VI's while loop watches for this START bit to go true, and then runs the Sub VI. The advantage here is that one can more easily pass arguments to the SubVI when it is started, using local vars, which are preferable to globals. Once the Su
    bVI is running, however, you must use a global Stop Bit, set in the calling VI, to stop it when the calling VI exits, or the calling VI will hang up, waiting for the Sub VI to close and exit its while loop.
    If you need an example of this, email me. ([email protected]). I can also recommend Gary W. Johnson's excellent book which discusses this. ("LabVIEW Graphical Programming", 2nd Ed).
    Note: Where possible, I try to call a subvi from within the main VI, wait till it is done, then continue. It avoids the use of locals & globals, and results in cleaner code, with fewer "race" conditions. However, the main VI stops until the subVI is done, hence one should make the subVI modal.

  • Help! AME Stops in the Middle of Encoding - AME 5.5

    Hello - I am hoping someone can help me as I am hitting a brick wall with my production suite! I am going to be as detailed as possible however I am not an expert in how software and my hardware interact.
    Issue - My Adobe Media Encoder stops in the middle of encoding and does not complete the task in the queue.
    Software -
    1. Adobe Production Premium - Premiere Pro CS 5.5 (v5.5.2) and Adobe Media Encoder (v5.5.1.12)
    2. Mac OSX v10.7.5
    Hardware -
    1. 12GB Ram
    2. ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB Graphics Card (obviously not supporting Mercury Engine)
    3. 2x 2.4GHz 6-Core Intel Zeon
    Issue History
    - Until this point, all of my projects, videos, and exported media have been 78 minutes or less. I am now working on a project that is 112 minutes of full HD footage. Before Thursday, AME has performed flawlessly for me. The project in Premiere Pro has source video footage that is 1920x1080 29.97 (50mbps). On this Premiere Sequence there are several dynamically linked AE compositions with upper and lower thirds and titling. Finally, there are maps that are in native 720p size movies that are scaled to fit throughout the program at the beginning of each chapter.
    - I am attempting to export and encode this video for use in Encore. I have queued the project for export out of Premiere into AME using the following settings:
    H.264 Blu-ray
    Video Only
    VBR 1-pass
    Custom Bitrate - 26.5 target, 35 max
    Render at Maximum Depth
    Use Maximum Render Quality
    Prior to Updates in Software:
    - On Thursday I queued 4 files for export: 2- PCM audio only files, 1-H.264 Blu-ray video only, and MPEG-2 DVD video only
    - AME ran over night and produced the following: 2 audion files completed successfully, 1 H.264 file completed successfully, MPEG2 file seemed to be 'hung up" and AME was not responding.
    - Shut down/forced quite AME and tried to encode only the H.264 file. The encode failed as it hung up at different points in each attempt in AME.
    - I searched and installed updates for my adobe production suite (premiere pro, AME, and others were updated to the versions listed above).
    - Friday I attempted to export the H.264 file from Pr to AME and it encoded successfully!
    After Updates were Installed:
    - I had to make some additional revisions to the project in Pr after reviewing a draft Blu-ray. Now trying to export the revised video has failed each attempt:
    - On Saturday, I experienced the following results with AME:
    2 PCM Audio Only files - encoded successfully in AME (with Pr running)
    H.264 Video Only file (specs above) failed - the AME froze about 1/3 through the composition.
    At this point I shut the computer down and let it sit overnight.
    - Today (Sunday), I tried again and experienced the following:
    H.264 Video Only encode (same specs) though this time I shut down Pr thinking this would save RAM and the encode failed again. I did notice that it locked up at the same point as the previous attempt on Saturday which was a new symptom.
    RAM usage was 7-9GB during the encode.
    The place where AME locks up is immediately before a transition from the source video to the 720p map footage. Although there are two other segments with the same transitions and 720p footage that it did encode through.
    I have researched this issue on this forum and have read the following thread thoroughly: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856263
    The above thread described the issue I was encountering before I installed the updates precisely. But now I am still unable to successfully encode this project in AME to H.264?
    I am hoping someone can provide something to help, I have a completed project and I can't get it encoded! (I contacted Adobe and they said my SW was now unsupported from their customer service).
    Thanks for any help with this!!!
    Chris

    Thank you Todd for your quick reply - I contacted Adobe via Live Chat and never got a case number... I did however send the transcript of the conversation to my email...
    Khongyairong: Please give me 2-3 minutes while I check and see what best I can do to resolve this issue.
    Christopher Kratzen: sure - I have checked the forum for similar issues and found that there was a large thread on the subject - but no clear solution. I am starting to panic because I can't get my project to export
    Khongyairong: Okay . Thank you.
    Khongyairong: Thank you for your patience.
    Khongyairong: Christopher, I am sorry to inform you this, we don't have support for CS5.5 , we have support available only for CC and CS6 . I request you to please refer support portal or forum where you can repost your issue and our experts will be giving you the answers.
    Khongyairong: You can also purchase the phone support if you want a support.
    So your advice would be to pursue Adobe Technical Support on this issue? I wasn't sure how to go about this since I really haven't had an issue until now... the production suite does a spectacular job with everything else! Just need to get my finished program encoded....
