Last year I moved 4 blocks over and my new street doesn't have Fiber internet like the old one... Cox internet has been SUPER UNRELIABLE, especially this past week.

Seems the roll out of fiber has been really slow in general, was hoping to hear from someone that it's still happening.

Fiber was supposed to roll out in the late 90's and early 2000's but never was. Pretty much both AT&T and Cox are lying when they say Fiber's been installed.

I don't have fiber but I haven't noticed Cox being slow any evening this week. Right now I have 350 down and 12 up

I'm on Elbur right off Clifton. The fastest AT&T service available for me is 24Mbps. I keep checking every 4-6 months and there's no change.

How is it possible that the most densely populated city between NY and Chicago does not have fiber throughout the entire city?

I've e-mailed and Tweeted at our local government officials, hoping they had more information, but I've heard nothing in response.

If it's any consolation I've noticed a lot of the buildings I work in have had fiber installed recently. I'm sure this is to get the most bang for their buck, and Lakewood being so densely populated it probably isn't too far off before it's pulled into entire neighborhoods.

I was under the impression that after AT&T's acquisition they weren't going to run much more fiber

Call cox, make them replace lines and such. I had some issues and they ran a new line and replaced a few in my house and I rarely have problems now.
