People in this city can actually get FiOS?

Yeah seems to be widely available in Philly

I found a map from a non-verizon site and it looks like my area has "coverage", but Verizon says I only have access to their home 5G plans. I think it could be that my apartment building itself doesn't have the capability. I think my problem is most of my friends/co-workers probably have similarly un-upgraded apartments and so do not have access either, and so I thought it was like Baltimore where I lived before (essentially no Fios in the city).

I gotta look into this then. When I lived in NYC, I had FiOS, and had maybe at most 30 minutes of noticeable downtime ... over 5 years living there.

Meanwhile, with Comcast, I've had more downtime in a month.
