Does Verizon still own/manage ANY of their Fios territories?  I thought it
was all sold off to Frontier at this point.  It certainly all is, along
with all their legacy LEC territories not having FTTx and having some form
of DSL, around here.  The latter DSL offerings are usually pretty
hilarious.  It's mostly run out of the CO or existing RTUs from the POTS
era.  I can't imagine they have a ton of subscribers outside of areas with
literally no other wireline options, and I'm guessing a lot of that
infrastructure hasn't been touched in a decade-plus.

Is Frontier-managed Fios included in those numbers regardless, or are they
separate like I'd expect them to be?


I don't think those numbers include wireline territories that were
transferred from Verizon to Frontier, but in my area (western
Pennsylvania), Fios service is provided by Verizon.

Verizon hasn't updated their IPv6 resource site since at least 2012.  It
still includes a subtle but significant typo. A /56 does not give you "56
LANs"....

Requests for updates from front-line customer service go into a black hole,
as do sidebar questions to our Verizon account team at $dayjob.
