Re: ha! said by Eek2121: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 You need to go back and reread my post, since you obviously didnt get it. I said (and the DSLR FIOS FAQ clearly points out) that most consumer routers cant handle the bandwidth FIOS provides. I then went on to point out that the reason Verizon uses the Actiontec device is because it can.
said by Eek2121: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. Thats great, and thats why everyone has a different experience. 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.

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