Re: Same as MDU FIOS deployments?
said by Karl Bode  :Someone will surely correct me, but I believe you're right. Or at least that was how they were doing it before they started using bendable fiber.... I know for a fact that there is some sort of FIOS equipment installed in a utility closet on my floor. The question is will they run a fiber drop from there to my apartment and install an ONT, or will they run it via VDSL2 (or even coax) from there to me. I havent been able to access the closet to see what they have installed there, and nobody (on these forums) seems to know how these new installs will be done. I will report back and post some pics tomorrow at the following link (when its all done) for those who are curious.

1 edit | The older MDU installations place the ONT in the utility closet. Fiber runs to the ONT. Data runs to the unit over VDSL2. Video runs to the unit over coax.
If they have not run fiber to the unit yet, they would not do so on the day of the install, as it requires a massive effort and they would almost certainly do all the units at once. Since this is difficult in existing condominium buildings, most generally use the VDSL setup.
With my setup I can watch an HD VOD movie plus get 20/5 Internet simultaneously. Note, this was not working properly for a long time until a phone tech (former DSL tech) realized something was wrong with my DSL config. The new FiOS techs who never worked with DSL were stumped. |

My understanding is that they ran fiber to the utility closet on each floor, so we will see what happens tomorrow.
