<description><![CDATA[darcilicious posted : "And also some HD channels won't come in and a few others though the guide says it's in HD, it reverts back to sd on that channel,"<br><br>HD channels don't "revert" to anything. Can you describe your experience in more detail? E.g. what HD channel are you tuning to and what happens when you do? Describe what you see, not what you think is happening behind the scenes.<br><br>You may need to adjust the STB settings (Menu/Settings/Video) to get it to do what you want/need.<br><br>Also, you'll get alot more "eyes" your problem if you START A NEW THREAD :) since you're in troubleshooting mode now and not talking about availability of FiOS in North Attleboro anymore :)]]></description>

I can check and let you know how they are coming in over here.  HD Channels are all in 500s and 600s and above, with the exception of the digital music channels in 1800s and 1900s (sd.)<br><br>A weak signal shouldn't give you sd on an hd channel, but if you tell me your problem channels I'll check them over here.]]></description>

Download: not so much, the highest i've seen is 22ish but it is usually significantly lower than 25. And also some HD channels won't come in and a few others though the guide says it's in HD, it reverts back to sd on that channel, I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the red light. Also the chart on the ont said the red light meant 1550nm signal was weak.]]></description>

There was, of course an outage yesterday after it was installed, so the tv and internet was going on and off. This morning it has been great. However I did sign up for the HD Extreme + 25/15 internet, but I did a speed test and am only getting 15/5!! Would this fix itself, or would I have to call to fix it?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[DennyG posted : My North Attleboro installation report:<br><br>Installation was done on Wednesday.   The installer worked from 9:30 to close to 5PM.  Had a lot of outdoor wiring as I was the first in the Landry Ave area to subscribe, and he had to bring a line from across Landry to another pole on my property.<br><br>Inside wiring was simple.  The ONT and backup battery/power boxes were installed in basement, and he connected lines to a splitter for tvs, to the existing phone line, and to the modem/router rather quickly in the basement.  I immediately logged into the router to configure a new router name, password, SSID, WPA security, etc. and went to Speedtest.net to see a remarkable increase with 25/15 speeds, since I got the Extreme plan.<br><br>The only glitch we had was that my DVR box and the other set-top box would not activate from the DAC (Digital Activation Center.)  All we could get was locals.  Apparently they use a dedicated server to do the initial activations from a national center, and it was down that afternoon until 6AM the following morning.  So there was nothing more that the installer could do from here, except to keep the install job officially "open" in his paperwork, and follow up with me by phone the next morning (which he did.) Fortunately around 6AM the boxes activated and I had all my programming packages.<br><br>Service has been 100% stable since then, and no problems. I am a happy camper with the service, and can't wait to go to the Attleboro Comcast office tomorrow with all my boxes and tell them farewell.]]></description>

He came by himself, we are 400 feet off the road on a hill with a pole between the house and the roado he needed to pull the 400'+ of copper back down the hill then pull 400'+ of fiber back up the hill and restring it himself.<br>ONT and battery backup was a single combined unit mounted internally. 60' coax run to the oem router, appears to be a Westell Ultraline series 3.  Will try to get the tv service added next week.<br><br>Anybody know how to get port forwarding to work with this router?  Followed what the user manual says to do for user defined application but cannot get anything to work.  Had the same issue with the Westell Versalink dsl modem and finally got round it by defining a single static nat address to share the external ip address - means I had to have another router there to handle the port forwarding.  Would prefer not to go that way as I would have to purchase a new router as the Linksys befr41's that I was using will not support WAN speeds greater than 5mb<br><br>Peter]]></description>

In addition, there are the rental costs for set-top boxes: I got 1 HD box $9.95/mo, and 1 Home DVR box $19.99/month (this is the box that allows you to record on it, but play back on any other box in the house.

<description><![CDATA[viafax999 posted : If you don't mind can you tell me what did they chargefor that bundle.<br><br>I'm in Westford MA.  Our selectmen finally signed 10/30 after the wiring was finished back in May! and when I accessed Verizon on 10/31 there were no TV bundles there for our area.  Signed up for the Double Freedom 25/15 internet and unlimited phone Northa America and promised installation for 9/3.  On 9/2 the double freedom bundle had disappeared and now the TV bundles had appeared, however with slower internet speeds, 15/5.  The no longer offering double freedom appeared to create issues as no installer appeared 9/3.  After 2 days of phone go arounds with Verizon they finally offered a new install date of 9/16.  Another couple of hours discussion and that was reduced to 9/9, so here I am again waiting on the install window of 8am-5pm, scheduling doesn't appear to be the greatest.<br><br>Discovered while talking to tech support that FiOS tv is basically the DirecTv lineup though it appears cheaper than what I am paying DT.  Would like to have added TV service but couldn't modify the order because of the earlier issues and didn't want to cancel it as the install lead times appeared to be getting longer.  <br>Think changing to FiOS TV would be a good idea as have issues with the most Westerly sat signal and lose HD picture when there is heavy rain or snow.]]></description>

At least fios does offer the rest of the Boston stations, I say that because I now have directv (I refuse to settle for Comcast :)) and we are treated as if we are part of Rhode Island, because I only receive RI locals, no Boston. I know when I had Comcast a while back Fox 25 would be broadcast when showing local news and other programs unique to that particular station, but when the boston and providence fox were showing the same program simultaneously 25 would be blacked out and you were told to tune to fox providence. Personally I believe they should botch the RI stations and just give us MA, because I don't care whats happening in RI.

Probably not a big deal for most folks, but I do like this station's local news programs.

<description><![CDATA[nevin posted : I am not 100 % sure as to what exactly the provisioning was that the lady was talking about in the video, how ever this is an somewhat easy to understand definition from wikipedia: <br><blockquote>In telecommunication, provisioning is the process of preparing and equipping a network so that it can provide (new) services to its users. In NS/EP telecommunications services, "provisioning" equates to "initiation" and includes altering the state of an existing priority service or capability.[1]<br>In a modern signal infrastructure employing information technology at all levels, there is no distinction possible between telecommunications services and "higher level" infrastructure. Accordingly provisioning configures any required systems, provides users with access to data and technology resources, and refers to all enterprise-level information resource management involved.<blockquote>]]></description>
