You will know when fiber is coming to your neighborhood. For three months, Verizon trucks will be everywhere, on every street, either wrapping fiber to their existing copper wire, or splcing those fibers into a junction box. Fiber is currently available in Doylestown PA, in NJ, in TX (some old GTE locations) and many other places that currently have Verizon service.
