I am actually appreciative for the guy to show up early and on time. Cox never keeps their promise&#8230;</p> <p>This guy, Jason, is probably one of the most knowledgeable technicians that I&#8217;ve ever had at my house.

So that&#8217;s a bonus.</p> <p>The router Verizon gives me is actually very capable. Before, I feared that they would lock many configurations and not let me mess with it. But it actually turns out to be a <span class="caps">MUCH</span> more capable router than my crappy DI-524. And it does true <span class="caps">WPA2</span> (it is initially configured with <span class="caps">WEP</span>, so you have to manually configure it). the TV set-top box actually connects to the router as 192.168.1.100 to download programming, so do <span class="caps">NOT</span> block anything above 100.</p> <p>I ordered the 5MB/2MB D/L and this is the result of a speed test:</p> <p><img src="http://www.speedtest.net/result/244231176.png" alt="" /></p> <p>So far I am quite happy with the service and ready to dump Cox.</p> Sun, 09 Mar 2008 15:48:00 -0400 urn:uuid:2f4ab2bb-6702-4180-b2f2-2d7a5caac059 Raymond Law http://blog.rayvinly.com/articles/2008/03/09/i-have-verizon-fios-installed Random verizon fios http://blog.rayvinly.com/articles/trackback/50
