1 edit | Re: dsl account ?Linking your 2 posts together, you're asking a much more complicated question than you think. Some regions handles this in a little more dictatorial fashion than others, so I don't know:
1st) If they will allow you to keep a DSL account, and just change the billing on it (which I assume you're suggesting), and have FIOS service installed with a new data account, while keeping the old DSL active.
2)You would need a secondary address designation for the FIOS install to come in on to keep it separate from the existing DSL (if they will allow you to keep it) . ie 123Elm, 123 Elm Apt B. That has to be set up first. If your FIOS comes in on the same address, they will just convert the existing DSL to the FIOS data.
If you try this in VA, it may be a no go, where it may be allowed other places. Either way, it's the same procedure they used to get two ONTs installed for consumer phone and TV on one, and business data on the other.
You are now in a billing quandry, which may or may not turn out exactly like billing tells you it will be accomplished. Either way, billing has to know, and understand, just what you are trying to accomplish so that
1) they can give you their most accurate answer, pre-order
2) the secondary address can be created, to have FIOS installed on

And you most likely will pay activation charge on a new account occurring at a technically different address. |
