netmasta Posted April 6, 2005 Author CID Share Posted April 6, 2005 As you can tell by my previous message FIOS isn't in my town yet, but I was wondering. How far does the fiber go? Pole, house, modem? And do you buy or rent the modem? Thanks ahead for answers. P.S.: Since I heard about it being so close by, you will see me on this board (FIOS) more often.

KingCobra Posted April 6, 2005 CID Share Posted April 6, 2005 They run the fiber right to a point on the exterior of the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmasta Posted April 6, 2005 Author CID Share Posted April 6, 2005 Sounds pretty cool. No modem, good. One less piece of hardware too find problems in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallenDeathAngel Posted April 7, 2005 CID Share Posted April 7, 2005 Does the ONT thing...feature a user control page, IE something like http://192.168.100.1 which tells you the power signals, or if its a router/modem a control page too...? and also what ports do they block?

netmasta Posted April 12, 2005 Author CID Share Posted April 12, 2005 8 more MA towns now have FIOS available. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/050411/nym019.html?.v=6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted April 14, 2005 CID Share Posted April 14, 2005 the only control you have is over the router just like any other router you buy and throw oin a connection. the ONT is limited you only have access to the lines 1-4 and the data port which are physically at the ONT you dont have any other access interface wise...everything else regarding the connection and what is on our end. and the ports that i know that they block for now is 80 i believe for now that's it but dont quote me.

Verizon is rolling out the industry's premier consumer broadband services to customers in Lexington, Natick and Winchester. The company is offering three tiers of service with downstream (download) speeds of up to 5, 15 and 30 Mbps (megabits per second). They keep moving into the "better-off" towns first.
