FiOS TV will be available in the City of Philadelphia when Verizon is awarded a cable franchise via City Council vote. That may take awhile to pass in council.

what the Tech did tell me is that all the new condos being constructed have fiber to the condo units, and in the older buildings the MDU is being used]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17799402 Thu, 08 Feb 2007 23:29:09 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17795941 KingofCola : Thanks, did the tech mention when FiOS TV would be available? Is there a coax connection on the VDSl modem for video output?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17795941 Thu, 08 Feb 2007 13:59:36 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17795188 anon : ZyXel VDSL model was installed by Verizon tech.
model

Prestige 861 Series
DMT 3/4/5-band, ATM-based VDSL Modem/Gateway

came in the box with Micro filters..

while one could install the modem and router without a tech, the hook-up to the MDU / optical terminal network and connecting FiOS phone would have to be done by the Verizon installer.
Did not use the microfilters in the setup though since I already had indoor Westell Wall-Mount POTS / DSL Splitter from a previous install]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17795188 Thu, 08 Feb 2007 12:05:39 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17789236 KingofCola : What is the model number of the VDSL Modem? What other items did VZ tech have to install in the home? Did they use any microfilters, like the ones used for DSL modems?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17789236 Wed, 07 Feb 2007 14:13:58 EDT
