Gary,
Thanks again. My initial is 15/15. Understand the phone business. I need
to get busy......... :)
Verizon is here, but only for cell phone. I do not do cell phone.
More study. But looking much cleaner ATM.
Best,
Duncan

I may have spoken too soon on the cat5. If you are getting Fios internet and
their TV (and/or phone), you need cat 5 inside wiring.
If just internet then probably not..........they will find a telephone pair
that you are not using and piggy back on that.
In either case there is no modem. They will install a Ethernet socket which
will connect directly to router.
If you are in an area that has Verizon telephone service (sounds like you do
not) then their package deal is very good.
I have their 25/20 service for 9 years and it has never gone down. Only
once and a while their mail server will not accept my accounts when they do
updates......usually not for more than hour.

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
