Yeah, and it's been so unprofitable they've stopped installing it in new towns.

But it seems like they're continuing the build out in areas they've started. I see Verizon FIOS trucks rolling around LA almost every day.

That would make sense; it probably costs less to extend service around an existing hub than to start from scratch.

Any idea of which part is unprofitable? Too much bandwidth used, or is it that they aren't getting enough people in each area onboard?
