Verizon Fios customer here (Western PA). Given that Verizon's "Learn about
Fios" page still says that customers who get a /56 will be able to deploy
up to *56* LANs, it doesn't give me a ton of confidence that Fios will be
dual-stacked network-wide any time soon.  I've had Fios service in one
place or another since 2012, and it's been "real soon now" since then.

I continue to call their customer service line periodically and ask about
v6 availability in my area and I usually get the digital equivalent of a
blank stare, followed by "Ok, I'm putting a note in your account that you
asked about it."  I've seen reports online about customers in other areas
having  v6 available, but no luck here so far.

Thank you
