FTTP

[TheSpecialist]

You can go on verizons home page and look for employment oppertunities.

John it seems they are taking geographic areas served by on construction garage, and bouncing from a town covered by one installation garage, to a town covered by a different installation garage. I am no exspert on speed, but I know this stuff is very fast compared to other things I have seen. I know Abington, and Rockland will be done by the end of June, and I will be getting it. I hope they pick up the pace on getting the video in the towns.

I just got FTTP about 2 weeks ago, and I'm loving every minute of it here in Middleboro. The technician was excellent, and walked me through every step of it.

Be warned though, if you get FTTP with phone service, you'll have a battery pack installed in the basement or someplace close to a power source. The battery holds 8hours in case of an outage, and if it dies, your phone dies. However, the tech clued me in. You can get a special 12volt battery that holds up to 500hours of life.

But the FIOS/FTTP internet smokes Comcast cable for speed. And the Tech says TV will be out in Middleboro in the next couple of months.

And FIOS/FTTP is cheaper than Comcast internet. Go figure.

I had Fios installed last month and it's Great... I like the idea of my phone ringing while I'm on the Puter. I'll go for the T.V. hook-up when/if it becomes available as i currently have a Dish on the roof along with 2 antennas and have been lucky thus far with dodging Hurricanes and high winds.

LT. Dan, are you experiencing the occasional drop of internet connectivity every day or so? I mean, the router reboots itself almost every day.. the one they give you as part of your service. the VDI-624?

Jugstah,
I haven't had any problems whatsoever..I was there during the installation and kinda looked over their shoulders and was very pleased with the way they hooked everything up. DI-624 works fine.

I fixed the problem with my router. Apparently, I did some research and found that sometimes their firmware isn't embedded well, thus why my router was probably constantly rebooting.

I did a hard reset, and reflashed the router. Since then, I've not had any problems with it.

It wasn't Verizon's network at all that was giving me problems.
