FiOS Installation
I've had FiOS for about 3 months now and really like it. I was out of town the day they guys came to do the "outside" installation. My neighbor said they were probably at the house for 4-5 hours and did a very clean job, as you reported.

The next day I was here for the "inside" installation and was very impressed with the installer as well. He was here over 6 hours, worked alone and spent almost 30 minutes working me through the cable tv service as well as the internet connection. It's now almost 10:30am Eastern Time and according to Speednet I am doing 13732 down and 4336 up. However when I am online late at night or early in the morning I can easily get 20000 (or more) down and around 5 up.

My question...I also purchased a kick ass wireless router months before I connected with FiOS. How do I incorporate it into my internet connection and why would I?

Thanks,
Bill
