Comments on: Verizon's fiber race is on

Fios, a broadband-over-fiber service the company plans to launch this summer, is meant to battle cable's own "triple play."

FiOS - No until until technician onsite response time guarantee included

I currentyl have Verizon phone service and cable internet service. Just received an offer for FiOS. While the offer looks attractive my answer to Verizon will be NO until the offer includes a guaranteed response time for an onsite technician.

My phone service has been out twice in the last five years, and both times its been a minimum two days to get a technician onsite (after diagnosis by Verizon) to get it repaired. I can;t afford to have my Internet service out that long! (My cable internet service has been out only once, and only for 2 hours.)

Fios port 80 block FIX

Did this by using dyndns.org webhop service. Setup
mywebhopserver with port
21910(quake2) using dyndns port check tool. Then I setup the
fios router to
port forward port 21910 (quake2) to port 80 of my web server. I
enabled dyndns
in Fios and now IT WORKS!!! I did have to alter a few of my web
links from
www.SSSSSS.com to mywebhopserver.SSSSSS.com but it was
worth it! Fast as a
T1.

NOTE THE DATES OF THESE POSTS.... THEN NOTE THE TITLE OF THE ARTICLE. Here we are in the final months of 2009 and Fiber Optics providing the type of bandwidth that they are receiving in other parts of the planet is still as far off as ever.... VOTE OUT DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS WHO SUPPORT THESE MEGA COMS LOBBYING EFFORTS THAT ARE KILLING AMERICAN ENTREPRENEURALISM!!! We were promised and we paid for fiber to the curb by the year 1998... where is it? (GTE (Verizon) and all of the Bells were paid a special tax to make this happen and it never did. These politicians continue to support these companies. I never pay my phone bill on time because their is ALWAYS a error to the phone companies benefit, every month. I call and claim my pennies each and every month. They question me and when I ask them provide me specific datee that they can insure that my bill will be correct, they reply that they can't. They steal from us each and every month and then they take tax dollars and never deliver. Your US congressman and senator has likely supported them. It is time to hang up the donkey / elephant loyalties and start supporting your neighbors. Vote out all Dems and Repubs Today!
