Verizon's cost to install FIOS is going down not up: »telephonyonline.com/home/news/ve···_092706/ They are almost done wiring up Florida as I got notice a couple of week ago that the contractor would be along to mark off the utilities prior to the burial of the underground fiber and that work has just been completed. Here is where they stand in Florida, along with speed offerings and prices: »www.foxbusiness.com/story/market···ridians/ I currently have Brighthouse 7/512 as well as 3/768 Verizon DSL on a dual WAN router since both the wife and I use the Internet for academic research and need redundancy in case one ISP goes down. We still have not decided whether we will keep cable or go with two ONTs even though by doing that we lose redundancy. Both DSL and cable have been reliable but the 20/20 speed for a reasonable price is very tempting. As for technology updates, Verizon can go to GPON simply by changing out the electronics which is a cost-effective solution and will not require a major overhaul of the network. -- Always Reach Beyond Your Grasp

rody_44 Premium join:2004-02-20 Quakertown, PA	the main reason verizons cost for installing fios isnt really the reason they want you to believe. they started out running ALL the lines and as time goes by they are skipping by lines and only running them if and when a customer orders the service. they started that around 2 years ago and the practice continues. the only thing it accomplishes is is they dont have to run it when nobody orders the service. i know because i was running it.
