<title>[northeast] What is Speed Limit for FIOS MDU (Multi Dwelling Uni</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23780965</link>
<description><![CDATA[Verizon's billing side has me set up with 25/25, but provisioning and technical support tell me that technically I am limited to 20/5 because in an MDU, there is a segment between the ONT and my unit which uses VDSL, and thus there's a limit to 20/5.

   1. Is this true that there is a 20/5 limit?
   2. Can any upgrades to the ONT or the VDSL modem raise this limit?
   3. Can anyone give me any advice on how to untangle Verizon's billing and technical support side.  (I have tried to get billing to tell me about this limit at 20/5, and technical support to give me the 25/25, but each side tells me to contact the other.)

Thanks!]]></description>

<title>Digital Voice in Virginia next week (2/15/10)</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23778268</link>
<description><![CDATA[Just got a call from Verizon saying that Digital Voice will be available in Virginia next week.  I had called to ask about availability a couple weeks ago and the rep told me she would call me back when it was available.  Didn't think it would happen, but it did.

I'm looking forward to cutting the taxes a bit and adding a second line for $10.  I can probably get the second line for what I save in taxes.

Kids (4 teenage girls) will probably love that :)]]></description>

<title>[net] Getting replacement router</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23778706</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have an old Actiontec router from years ago for my FIOS.  Recently it has been freezing, dropping connections and not allowing one PC in the houose to see other PC's.  How can I get Verizon to replace this router?]]></description>

<title>[northeast] Very basic FIOS internet questions</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23768491</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am in RI and have DSL with Verizon.  There will be FIOS service in my neighborhood shortly, and since I am far enough from the switching station that my DSL speed is not very fast, I am planning to switch to FIOS.  I want to be prepared, and even though I have reviewed the FAQs, I am uncertain if I can do what I want.  Here is the info and my questions.

Currently, the telephone service enters in one corner of my house, and my home office with my computer is on the opposite corner about 100 feet of cable run distance between them.  Currently, the DSL modem is plugged into a phone jack in the office, and I have a Netgear router which runs my LAN plugged into the modem.  

When I switch to FIOS, the line will come into the house at the same spot as the current phone line.  During recent renovations, I had a Cat 5e cable run from my office to that corner of the basement.  Not knowing what I might need, I also ran RG-6 coax but that has not been "permanently" put in place nor has an outlet in the office for it been created.

So, when I get FIOS, how can I best set it up?  First, where does the Actiontec router have to be located?  Does it need to be near the ONT, or can I put the Actiontec modem in my office and plug the ethernet cable into the ONT in the basement and the other end into the Actiontec modem in my office and use it in place of the Netgear router for my LAN?  How many ports does the Actiontec router have?  I am using all 4 ports on my Netgear router.  If I can't wire it this way, can I just not use the Actiontec router at all (which seems doable from posts in the FAQ) and just connect the ethernet cable into the ONT and the other end into the Netgear router after the initial setup?  Do I need to use the coax cable?  I would prefer not as I don't want to drill more holes into my office, and everything on my home network is currently Cat 5e cable.  

If it makes any difference, I will be using FIOS also for my phone line but don't expect to use it for TV.

Thanks a lot for the basic info.

<title>35/35 Upgrade</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23756927</link>
<description><![CDATA[I just updated from 25/15 (25/25 with "fluff") to the 35/35 package. From a wired connection, I could consistently get 25/25 using the Verizon FIOS speedtest.

With the 35/35 package, I get 36/28. Is this normal or is there a problem with the upload speed?

Thanks,
Harvey]]></description>

<title>FiOS availability in New Brunswick, NJ.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23766903</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi, a couple months ago I caught this post:

http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Verizon-at-Home/Three-years-after-FiOS-TV-in-New-Jersey/ba-p/128969;jsessionid=0DDE4F0E428E6D2A8D16E19EBA04532C

But 2 months later, I still don't see anything and everytime I call Verizon I was told it's up to the engineering department.

I was just wondering if anyone has any kind of information on when FiOS will actually be available in the area.]]></description>

<title>[northeast] My FiOS Internet going up 100% in March?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23764424</link>
<description><![CDATA[I just opened a Verizon envelope announcing my FiOS Internet 20/5 package is jumping up from $49/month to $99/month starting March, as the promotional period has come to an end.

Oh, man... that is a huge percentage increase and really throws a kink in my loyalty as a Verizon customer.  I could have stomached 10-30%, but 100%?   Hmmm...   So, unless this is a mistake on Verizon's part (which I won't be able to find out until their offices open on Monday), I am left with two less-than-desirable options:  Drop down my speed or switch to TW Road Runner.

Has anyone else received such a letter?

<title>Can&#x27;t see Verizon router behind my own!</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23772049</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi Guys

Need a little help please, not really sure where to start, last month I read all the great guides on here to be able to use my own router instead of the Verizon Westell router, anyway long story short I installed the ethernet cable from ONT to my router got it all changed over and now I use my Belkin wireless router which is working great, I installed the Verizon router off of the Belkin router and now I have TV Guide and Video On Demand back on all my boxes too :)

Only trouble is I can't login to my Verizon router, I ticked the box that said use port 80 but I then found out I already have stuff running off port 80 so I can't access it.

Can anyone please tell me how or what I need to do to be able to access my Verizon routers GUI from behind my Belkin?  THe way its setup is from my Belkin LAN connection it goes to the WAN on the Verizon (as per guide).  The verizon router has wifi turned off right now and other than that is 100% factory default!

Hope someone can please give me some help

Thank you

Stuart]]></description>
