Verizon also REQUIRES that you use THEIR router after the fiber modem.
So now we're back to the scenario where you can only attach phone company equipment to their lines. Didn't we already fight this battle, about 30 years ago?

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: But in those days (1960's) the telco was a _regulated entity_ and it still is. But for newer things like ISP and Internet service, those features are mostly _unregulated_ and telco is permitted to do as they please or require whatever they want on their _unregulated_ stuff. PAT]
