Nope.

You can't use a cable modem with FIOS. Not compatible.

You get a wireless router included with FIOS. I don't know why you would want to use a cable modem.

I'm not knowledgeable about Fios and trying to learn as much as I can. Can you purchase your own equipment without getting the Actiontec? I'm now a comcast customer and have a NETgear Wndr3700 router. Thanks in advance.

Maybe or maybe not. For more info, I point you to »Verizon FiOS FAQ »Do I have to use Verizon's router?

tippy, you might want to post in our FiOS forum with your FiOS questions. They are very knowledgeable and helpful in there.
