| Re: My FIOS install The network will handle this speed because it's fiber from the home to the central office. From the CO, it hooks directly into the internet. The only place to slow it down is the server that they would be accessing. I have been teaching FTTP for over 2 years for Verizon. My training center is training all of the techs that are installing the service in Texas. The customers are amazed at what they get when we are done with the install and all for $39.95 a month for 5M download and 2M upload. They can get 15M and 3M for $49.95 and if they are really hardcore into gaming, 30M and 5M for $199.95 per month. Wait until video is available!!! Coming soon to your neighborhood if you are a Verizon customer. | |

soon is such a subjective word. if VZ does what it is known to do, I will be the last place off my CO to be upgraded.
So I have a few years before im willing to get all hyped up about this new VZ offerings comming. | |

Pointless torun a server from a PPPoE connection, because your IP changes every 24 hours..... | |

Keller, TX | Re: My FIOS install Changes every 24 hours? I'm at 3 weeks and counting. My last change was only because a reboot of the router caused by my changing wireless channels. | |

Columbus, OH | Re: My FIOS install your router shouyld refresh every 24 hours, and should pull a diffrent IP everytime. That is the reason Verizon is set up for PPPoE, for secrity reasons, they want you to pull a diffrent IP everytime | |

| Re: My FIOS install What are you basing this on? Sure, an ISP can reset it whenever they like, and maybe there are routers that do it, but I have yet to encounter either. I've had SBC PPoE, various flavors or ISDN (PPP) and now Verizon FIOS (PPoE) and none have changed IP addresses unless I lost power or tinkered with the router/modem.
Maybe I have just been lucky, but since we are talking about FIOS, and I have FIOS, it doesn't renew every 24 hours with my Linksys Router. Believe me, I would know... I check it every few days.
Of course the first thing I check on the router is to make sure it is set to not idle disconnect. | |
