I have FiOS and you'll be fine. No special software needed. Verizon didn't remove my copper, but they do cut it to tie the phone system into the fiber.
What? They married the two systems? Fiber to copper? That seems counter-productive. Did they do this with the TV postion too? My biggest complaint is the router. They used an
ActionTec. Has some very granular controls when compared to say a Linksys, etc., but you'd better hope any ethernet runs don't extend more than about 90 feet. Seems it can't produce enough juice on the wire, so that really bites.
"Granular controls"? I do not understand the term. Went to www.actiontec.com. Makes me curious how this will be installed, Will the TV receive its signal via wireless to their STB or direct fiber to the STB? You suggest they use the existing copper. I think I need to talk to the rep - this thread has helped inform me to ask important questions. stephen
The phone has worked fine, no real problems.
The HD vid has been great. I've got a better pic than I used to get with BrightHouse. And Verizon offers a DVR that can be used to record and then watch from any tv in the house that has a STB.

Sounded good until I asked if it supported linux. He called his supervisor and the answer was no.
Has anyone found this info to correct or incorrect?
