It is a hardware restriction on the ONT... |

There must be a new version of Motorola ONT out that has the added feature of dual WAN interface. Luckily, ghot1 is scrupulous and only wants what he pays for. Just think of the horror if everybody had two WAN ports out of their ONT. 
Note to ghot1  : nycdave probably dreams ONT PCB component assignment lists at night, that's how much he knows about the hardware. But then again, maybe you have an experimental version that's still in beta testing.  |

Really, I promise, no more. Note to myself: Live and Let Live. |

dont feel bad....they didnt even have the pole wires run till 7 months ago :/ I've only had FIOS since aug 18th and after 4 hours of not usin browsers...they wouldnt work...till i rebooted comp even though i was still in Diablo 2 and that still worked....spent the entire 2 weeks trying to find out why ...they sent new router anf even sent a tech out......I even did fresh windows install to eliminate any software probs....and still the browser wouldnt connect after bein idle for 4-6 hours....finally i just told them i wanted cat5e from ONT straight to comp...they said it be $199 and so many more $$ for every 1/2 hour the tech be here...so i said if i buy and install the cat5e then how much...they said free....just call us when it installed and we'll switch it over...which was pretty cool i guess
But they also said i had to send router(s) and the BIG STB back and they would send me a DCT700 so the coax they already ran I could use for TV...but I lose tv guide, VOD, premium, pay per view and fios on demand...i said no problem lol
i asked why i cudnt keep the STB they said cause then id have to keep the router and then I could get (more or less) 2x 20mb/s lines.....and that just wasnt "policy" ....but I test software and hardware on comp so TV is just for background noise anyways....and on top of that i got free Comcast with the all utilities apt. i live in....so i said no problem |
