It does, or it used to... rumors were DFW was a good place to get the 100/100 service. As to the actiontec, just ditch it, if you have cat-5 from the ONT you've been presented with an ethernet LAN, plug that into any old switch and feed your end systems off that (presuming you have more than 1 ip address and static addressing). If you NEED a router/firewall, then get an ssg5 or use a little linux-alike box. -Chris >On Thu, May 27, 2010 at 3:22 PM, Robert Enger - NANOG <[email protected]> wrote: >> Sadly, I have only the 50/20 FiOS service.
