You can, u just have to make sure you have the latest firmware and in some cases you have to DMZ the wireless adapter

 

^ FIOS master has spoken.

 

Everyone, really..... That's why its not offered anywhere in portsmouth (last i checked), very little of Chesapeake and maybe a little better than half the beach? Most people i know i norfolk can't get it either.

I don't really give a shit to be honest, i hate COX just as much in this area. You have ignorant ass people working as CSR's, and even dumber fucking techs....i am amazed at the shit i see guys do. Guys rehanging a drop with fucking zipties...laying cable across flower beds...its unreal.

My point is, COX has had broadband for 10 years now, give or take a year......where was Verizon?

I would like to see the hype, unfortunately, they have yet to give a date of when it may be available in the Portsmouth area. But Hey!, They are the shit

 

I'm a Splicer out of Richmond, Va for verizon. They aren't making the Sell One Mores requirements for us. I know we're placing the cable all over the place in richmond. The service is amazing though.. Fios > Cox

 

I tell you what,,

they are coming sat. I will run Cox and Ver side by side for the w/e for anyone wanting to see the difference just let me know.

 

I also want Fios but fuck them for not being available where I live.

Fios is like an urban myth...like a great unicorn that shits gold... everyone says it's real but I've never seen it.

 

lmao, mans thats great shit!

 

You wouldn't be able to run them side by side. They disconnect the cox to make the fios work.

 

What? Ummm they have ran all new stuff in my buddies house next door. The lines are 2 totaly differ things. He ran cox for 2 days until he took his box back to the store front. cox comes from my telephone pole to the house. The fios is ran from a orange 2 in line infront under ground to a little box mounted in my utility room which also has the battery back up system.

 

A typical installation turns any coax port in the house into a port you can watch fios tv on. If you plug in a tv directly to the port without a verizon cable box, you are limited to channel 2-50. If you have a box, it gives you all the channels you pay for. Was your friend not using a jack in the house? Did he have a tv/stb plugged straight into the plug from outside for cox?
