Eek2121 Lovin Verizon FIOS join:2002-10-12 Newton, NJ Reviews: ·Service Electric..	reply to wifi4milez Re: ha! said by wifi4milez: said by way2evil: Once again please teach me how a 100mbit port differs from a gigabit port when you can only max out at 20mbits (not transferring within your LAN). I just explained it to you. Almost every soho router has 10/100 ports on it, however much of the hardware cant handle anywhere near that throughput. Dont take my word for it, do some research right here on this site. An example would be that even with 3rd party firmware, a Linksys router falls far short of being able to reach its 100Mbps port speed. said by bobTeatow (writing the DSLR Verizon Online FIOS FAQ) : Some routers may not be able to support FiOS' higher speeds. For example, some users have discovered a 16-17 Mbps limit with the Linksys WRT54G using third party firmware. The rest of the FAQ is available here »Verizon Online FiOS FAQ »What are the tradeoffs between the various router configurations Make sense? Heh, i tried to keep my mouth shut, but I HAVE to speak up. I have 20/20 service via Verizon FIOS. I get both 20 up and 20 down, no issues. I have an onboard NIC, 10/100 variety. In addition, my wife's PC has a Gigabit onboard nic, absolutely NO issues. We use the built in actiontec router, and yes I DO use torrents, I am an internet power user, i kick the shit out of my connection. My connection has not dropped ONE SINGLE TIME since i got the connection in place. The only time I have ever been offline is when plugging the router into a UPS. I keep an SSH connection open for days to a dedicated server living in my closet and never have issues. So when you say FIOS is 'nothing special' I say you are full of shit. This is the way internet SHOULD be for everyone. Disclaimer: I do not work for, nor am I affiliated with, Verizon, Verizon Wireless, or any other Verizon owned/operated company.

I should also point out that running a server on your connection is a violation of the TOS, but thats neither here nor there. Assuming you dont run a server, and dont torrent, the average person wont notice any difference. Regarding your comments about line quality, that was not something I ever questioned. I never said I had any problems (technically) with FIOS, the service has worked great for 7 months. -- "The only morality they recognize, is what will further their cause" -Ronald Reagan-

Unless you are buying your router at a toystore there is no reason why it shouldnt be able to handle FiOS.
