I signed up for Verzon FIOS and will be getting installed on June 13. I have been having issues with Cox for the last year, so I decided to make the switch.

Will let you all know how Verizon FIOS is after my install.

What kind of questions do you have?? I scheduled for my FIOS install on June 13.

I need to find out if they have the Multi-room DVR available around here yet, and I want to be sure I can reatin my home network that I have wired in myself over the past 5 years. As long as thier modem has one output that I can plug into my router using CAT5 I will be good to go..

Also I see an option for DirecTV and one ofr FIOS TV...are they different?? Looks like they have the exact same equipment that I have from Cox now as far as the Motorola DVR.

I am not sure where they will install all thier equip. either. I don't have any available electric outlets for the battery backup near where all the wiring presently comes into the house. Also how will they do an install on an interior wall, as I think the TV requires a CAT5 cable as well as the standard Coax... Let me know what they do for your hook up. Tomorrow is your lucky day!! Where do you live at?? I am in Chesapeake, and they have not oficially let me sign up for the install yet. I guess they have a couple of trunk lines to run still.

When I got installed with Fios, they didn't run Cat 5 cable for my internet. Everything was connected on the outside of the house using the coax cables.

As for the DVR its very similar to Cox. I did noticed that the sound is constant volume when it switched from program to advertisement unlike Cox.
