I'm thinking about getting FIOS and have a few questions:
I live in an apartment building, does the building have to be wired for FIOS (fiber)? If it has to I assume they will put a FIOS box in my closet.
From the FIOS box to the computers is the (desired) wiring Cat5e or can it be fiber? Same question for TV service, from the FIOS box to the TVs is the (desired) wiring coax, ethernet or fiber?
Anyone have any experience with how long it takes to have the service activated & installed?
Is the computer setup the same as with DSL? FIOS box -> router ->
computers
Do I need my own router (what brand/type do you recommend) or is one supplied by Verizon?
If Verizon supplies, do they provide me with user name & PW etc. so I can configure it and set up port forwarding?
Thanks
