High Speed Internet Options in Utica, New York

It's there on the map, along with Syracuse.

It's very isolated, only in the cities, but those two denser cities have it. Buffalo for quite some time and 'Cuse for less. But I actually used it and was really pushing the 300Mb/s last year. It worked great.

County, not city. And I already know about Syracuse. Buffalo is what I'm talking about.
VZ is super selective on where they will pop things in. NYC bitched because they were not wiring everyone at the same time. Until Corning came out with the flexible fiber stuff, MDUs were FiOS biggest weakness.

Correct, the map shows Erie country, but it was in Buffalo that we used it.

Also notice on the map that it lists Ft. Worth as one of the FiOS major cities. Fact of the matter is that Verizon doesn't service Ft. Worth, AT&T does. There isn't a single VZ CO in the city of Ft. Worth:

There is the potential for some overlap, like having a phone number in one town but your mailing address is another. So yes, there might be someone in the city limits of Buffalo who has FiOS, but odds are it has a caveat.

Fios is in Some areas of Buffalo, NY. It is limited within the city boundaries (I think North Buffalo only??), and in some suburbs. I have 25/25 at my house in Amherst, our HQ in Tonawanda I just ordered 150/150 for, but one "burb over FiOS is not available.

I did an "In My Area" search and all that came up where Time Warner at no more than 5Mb/s and FiOS DLS at less than 1Mb/s.
Utica and Rome I know have Verizon DSL and TWC but I don't think they have FiOS. It's a poorer demographic, sadly...

It's sad because other than that one issue, Utica has some amazing downtown office space.
