If you get Verizon FiOS, you can’t switch back to DSL — in many cases.
So, be aware. You may lose your access to DSL if you get FIOS.

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010I Just Reformatted My Dell 2400 Desktop (windows Xp). How Do I Reconnect To My Dsl (verizon Fios) Internet?
Monday, February 8th, 2010I can’t figure out how to re-establish an internet connection. I use a D-Link DI-624 router. I made sure it was disconnected from my desktop when I reformatted.
I appreciate any help anyone can offer me — this is so frustrating :-(. Also, I am not too great with tech stuff in general, so please explain to me in easy terms if possible.. thank you!

I Have Verizon Fios. How Do I Set Up My Video Tuner Box?
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009I am using the Hauppauge TV tuner box.
http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hvr1950.html
did I get the right thing?
when I scan for signals with the cable first going to my cable box, then to the tuner, i only get channel 3. However, I cannot watch anything. when I scan for signals with the cable going directly from the wall to the tuner, I get like a thousand channels, but when I go to see any of them, it shows hundreds of tiny little screens of dozens of channels all going at once!!!
What should I do?
Verizon Fios / Dvr Project?
Monday, September 28th, 2009I would like to build my own DVR, but I realize that the verizon signal is different than can be decoded by a simple TV-tuner card. Do I have to tune the channel with the set-top box before I can record it? Because that defeats the purpose…
Is there anyone out here who is using their own DVR with Verizon who can share with me some resources?
Thanks.
Verizon Fios Promotions?
Monday, September 28th, 2009Has anyone received their free camcorder or TV from Verizon’s promotion offer for their Triple play? All I have received is a headache from waiting on hold listening to elevator music.

Can You Help Me Prepare For Fios Installation?
Saturday, September 26th, 2009It’s supposed to happen tomorrow, and I want to make sure it does, if possible. I’m only getting it for one TV plus one computer plus phones throughout the house. The TV and computer are in the finished basement.
My first question: Where will the indoor phone box go? I don’t want some ugly box sitting in the middle of my dining room or kitchen, which are near the utilities and not blocked by drywall. Does the box need to be near or connect to a phone? We have a phone in the basement, but it’s nowhere near the utility box. On the other hand, the kitchen phone is not far from the utility box. Ultimately, I’d like the wiring to go through the bathroom in the basement–near the utilities–and around to an outlet down there (near the TV).
Second, what type of work will need to be done with the computer? We have dsl now without a problem. Will new wiring have to go from somewhere else to the computer? Will I need to move boxes to allow wiring to occur, or is the only real wiring to the computer itself? We have coaxial cable from previous owner’s cable TV.
Finally, will the technician need access to phone jacks? If so, I’m moving furniture tonight.
Thanks for your answers and any other help you can provide.
Verizon Dsl Problem! –> To Verizon Fios?
Friday, September 25th, 2009i am currently using the verizon dsl 768 kbps ~_~
the dsl modem will show 4 lights when u r connected to the internet. the problem is the internet connection is not stable~_~ it keep kicking me out. about nearly every 40′ ~_~ and when it happen, there are only 3 light left on the modem, the 4th light is DEAD! that is the “internet” light. i have to turn off the modem, un plug the phone line, then plug it in again! sometimes, i have to re-do several times in order to make the “internet” light show up again !_!
and one more thing, when the home phone rang, the internet sometimes get lower speed or even stop working ~_~ i think maybe the problem w some of the internet filter ( the one that verizon give you ). i check, change, but problem still occur~_~
NOW, i want to move on the verizon fios.
i read on http://www22.verizon.com/content/consume…
and it telling me that “setting up additional computers during the initial installation for $89.99 each.” .omg? is it really that much? my house got 3 comps, then i have to pay 90×3=270 setup fee?? is it really a need? can i just pay for one primary computer, and the other computers will just simply join the wireless internet w the wep key??
sorry 4 bad english. thanks for every answer. I’LL PICK BEST ANSWER!
