Someone on a local PLG list posted a Verizon press release which listed many brownstone neighborhoods that have supposedly already been wired for FIOS. they are:

Clinton Hill
Crown Heights North
Brooklyn Heights – Cobble Hill
Williamsburg
Fort Greene
DUMBO-Vinegar Hill-Downtown Brooklyn-Boerum Hill
Crown Heights South
Bedford
Prospect Heights

The poster was quite upset that PLG seemed to have been skipped over, but distrustful person that I am, I wonder if FIOS is ACTUALLY available in these neighborhoods. I’m especially skeptical because of the difficulty of running fiber optics in historic districts–front telephone poles like Verizon used in parts of southern Bklyn wouldn’t be acceptable in HDs (would they?)

So–does anyone in the brownstone neighborhoods listed actually have FIOS or know that it’s currently available?
