Slip as others say, you will love it. The stuff is selling like gangbusters.

The speeds currently offered are 5/2 mbs, 20/5, and 50/10. Just to clarify the phone is not Voip, it uses a separate bandwith on the fiber, the power supply, and battery back-up are for the equipment that changes the light to a digital signal at the house. You are on your own fiber, sharing with noone,which means that when johny rotten comes home from school and starts dowloading your speed will not drop unlike the competition. Also the competition's phone is Voip, so when their internet is down so is your phone.

Bruce the inside wire maintence will save you 95 bucks for a service call if the trouble is inside the house, but since you know a phoneguy.....

BTW the tech support for DSL maybe in India, but the tech Support for Fios is here, they actually have an office in Providence, Virginia, California, and Texas, that was a union negotiated thing with the FIOS.

Thats all for now gotta go install some light....
