I am hoping someone can answer these questions before tuesday.
I am upgrading from verizons DSL to FIOS and as much searching as I have done, I can't seem to find answers to these questions.
First, I am told that it will take from four to six hours for the workers to install, whatever it is (besides) a battery backup to complete the job?
Does this mean that they are going to have to rewire all of my phone jacks?
Do they have to run FIOS cables to every room (5) that has a phone jack or does FIOS run on the same lines as DSL?
My second question involves my two pc's and the netgear equipment.
I run two pc's .. one from the typical westell modem which is also the one connected to the netgear router.
The second pc uses a usb dongle.
Will I have to replace both of these "G" netgear (802.11g 54mbps) pieces of equipment to run at the higher FIOS speed?
Any help will be Greatly appreciated!
An update and even more confusion!
After asking around .. some folks say that the pc will run over existing phone lines 'but' Now I am told, by others that my pc has to be hooked up to a coaxial cable?
(FIOS is coaxial?)
I have comcast cable TV in my rooms but is that where the fios will come from?
I am now officially confused!
I, for now am keeping comcast TV and am only getting internet and phone from verizon fios.
Is that going to be an install for a separate cable for verizon?
