Re: Bet FIOS first Well, they have FIOS for business, but it appears it's only for businesses in their own separate and distinct buildings. Large office buildings (the tall multi-story, many different tenants type) don't seem to be able to get FIOS, even if it would really only serve a single tenant's business network (and these are usually small to mid-sized networks that wouldn't overload the offered FIOS packages).
Wierd. A residential MDU would probably work for all single-WAN oriented businesses, even in a tower office building.

Are you saying businesses should rent residential apartments in residential apartment buildings if they want FIOS? |

| No, I'm saying Verizon could give a single-link Business customer the same FIOS equipment they give residential users, just like they did when I had a Westell 2200 DSL modem and the business I worked for got the same modem when they ordered DSL service, too, albeit a business-class pricing plan, not a residential plan.
Granted, I have zero experience with FIOS, so maybe I'm missing a step...

kudos:1 | Yeah I understand you now. FIOS Business tiers don't get you different equipment, or give you a special line. There is no SLA, your service is just as equal as any residential FIOS line (except for extra cost, unblocked port 80, and possibly speed and static IPs). A FIOS Business customer doesn't get a ethernet or T3 SONET Ring at their NID with 4 fibers when they order, even though FIOS speeds no matter what class you are, do approach a T3 on the download side, and sorta on upload:D |
