Progress has its downside. A second resident chimes in regarding Verizon FiOS:

SUBJECT: Another resident very unhappy with Verizon and Claremont Officials
TO: Claremont Buzz
I concur totally with the complaint made about the Verizon fiasco or another word for fiasco is fios. I have lived in Claremont since 1972 and am very unhappy with the shoddy job and furthermore, no explanation from our city government. Complaints have been made to city officials that have all fallen on deaf ears. Who is getting a financial gain for this? There was absolutely no information given to the residents regarding the installation, nor the condition of how the streets/neighborhoods would be affected by this. I find this a total disregard for the citizens, aka taxpayers, of this city. The former employee of the city that was supposed to be overseeing this job must be laughing all the way to the bank on the back of Claremont taxpayers. He gave out incorrect information and definitely did not have Claremont's best interest. His words were "he stopped them from going on his street in Upland". So what does that tell you????
