    Welcome to the FiOS family! Everyday will be a happy eye opener with the quality of service you have now. My wife is so geeked too. I had to get her a new 1080p 120Hz LCD for the bedroom to go with her HD DVR. Show the missus how to control the DVR via her cell phone. I'm sure she will love that.

    Okay. I was afraid that I was in a Frontier area and didn't know it.

    Is this going out to everyone, or just those in the soon to be Frontier locales?

    Anyone get a better price if trying to disconnect?

    I have found that FiOS techs online have been very helpful with no complaints yet. When I needed help (great or small), they are quick and helpful. I have had issues with different phone support lines that I can't say that it is just one company. Plus I know for a fact that some of the employees...

    Verizon Broadband Service Scores Win in 2009 PCMag.com Readers' Survey

    That is exactly what I keep telling people. Cox can brag about their customer service, but if you rarely need it, then what does it matter? I had to call Cox for repairs 3 times within the first 72 hours of service. Then it was approx. once per month for dropped internet and bad TV signals. All...

    My install(s) with Cox always took hours too. However mostly getting them to correct install issues prior to leaving. My initial install with Cox took approx 5-6 hours. Also they came at the end of the arrival 4 hour window, so I was off all day. With VZ, I was back working after lunch. This is...

    Nope, they showed up this morning. They were afraid of not making it into my neighborhood, because the entrance is still flooded. He was was here only for approx. 3 hours tops. His boss brought an HD DVR over to upgrade one of my boxes. They were so impressed with the legwork I put in prior to...

    I'm told that it can be done and found someone on dslreports who was in the same situation and was resolved the exact way I was hoping. However we are experiencing a Nor'easter and I fear that it will delay my install tomorrow. Today is supposed to be the worst with it dissipating...

    The house is a buzz over FiOS coming in 6 days. Last night my 10yr old son even helped me fish some cables. He is quite versed now and even knows why we do things certain ways (i.e. service loops, bends, different cable types, power tools, etc.)...makes a father so proud. Well I have the second...

    Today, I finished terminating RG6QS cables and making patch cables in my den and one adjacent bedroom. Tomorrow I will start routing the cables for the TV in the kitchen and my bedroom. I also finished installing the cooling fan into and end tower on my entertainment center. The one I put in for...

    Well, do to issues with Verizon Wireless reps, I got frustrated and went to Sprint for my wireless needs. I got the same phone and plan for much less and no hassle. 15 minutes from start to finish and I was done.

    Then they must be waiting on another area to light your area up. Be patient and keep checking each week.

    As good as VZ is and as much as it is growing, they should give it the attention it deserves.

    This past weekend was the first chance I had to start pulling cable. What a comedy that was! I got my first bundle laid out and wrapped. I took off the wall plates in my family room and boys' room. I proceeded to the attic to drill into the wall from above to fish the cables up. After 2 minutes...

    Well, my neighbor across the street beat me to FIOS. He had such a big grin on his face as the VZ Tech drove off. I'm happy for him. I'm even happier, now that DW said we can go for the All Access Bundle from Steve and get an LED TV for the bedroom. She is now eyeing my 61" DLP saying we need to...

    FiOS: Real Cost?

    I spoke with Steve and he seems like a nice and trusting guy. I also have searched for as much information about him and he seems legit. The only issues I've seen were with and because of Verizion (no surprise based on others posted experiences), but were all resolved fairly quickly. By going...

    I was remeasuring and taking another look at things today. Verizon runs their copper to a mount at my attic vent and then around the house. Is is possible to have it enter my house via the attic and then across and down to the garage? I would just need enough of a service loop to reach. I will...
