Gary,
Thanks,
Understand. My home has 1960's era phone wiring.
I need to update. Plan is CAT5E Solid. Still grumbling about contractors.
First technical phone call went well!
Learned "ONT." The output of the ONT is an RG45 Ethernet line.
Nice. Seems the ONT should plug directly into my Router's WAN port.(?)
So, perhaps I may only need ONE new FIOS jack in my server room?
Yes, I'm thinking.
Best,
Duncan

OMG! Gary!
It can NOT be that simple?
Provider says direct to internal phone wiring.
You say "direct to Ethernet/router..." Confused.
But excited!
Best,

Subject: [H] Possible switch to FIOS?
My electric service provider
http://www.epbfi.com
has notified me that they can now offer me a FIOS connection for
"internet" and "tv." What they call "FI-Phone" comes later this year.
I have waited 3yrs for this!
No, I do NOT know how much yet. Still digging. I do know that the basic
offering is 15M/15M (~$45-$55/mo). I'd like to think about this.
How do I start to figure out what "my-side" boxes I need to start
shopping? I have never seen a FIOS connection!
I understand CABLE. I have/use ADSL. I would so love to completely
fire
my current ISP (ATT) and their "dial-tone" phone line.
So, seeking experience, suggestions, etc. ATM.
TNX,
Duncan
