Fiber TV Install and Experience

SkinnyGuy writes "The same guy who brought you the Fiber to the Premises (FTTP), FiOS broadband installation process, now brings you a detailed look at the FiOS TV install. He's thrilled and apparently couldn't be happier to say goodbye forever to Cable TV. There's a lengthy story and interesting slideshow." From the article: "I chuckled a bit to myself. After all these years of the phone company having to lease out and let competitors use its phone lines and utility poles, Verizon was using a competitor's wiring (and the work they did to run it into my house). Sorry, Cablevision."

business service and FIOS TV by SuperBanana · 2006-12-13 05:28 · Score: 0, Redundant

I've heard that you can't get business service and FIOS TV, because the TV box for some reason doesn't like having a static IP instead of DHCP. A friend was told that if he wanted TV and business service, he'd have to have two FIOS terminals installed, and it wasn't clear if that meant, for example, being billed for two complete sets of service, or what.

Sounds like either a typical technical blunder, or a great way to discourage home users from getting business class service.

Anyone?
