I'm no comms engineer, but I believe that FIOS, being glass fiber, has no conducting material to bring any kind of electricity into the house. It should be all blasts of light. Dan
>>> K Swab <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/19/2007 4:02 PM >>> I just installed Verizon's FIOS service for both my phone and video service. The CATV wire and the two copper telephone lines I had coming to my house have been removed. I am having a whole house surge protector installed to protect my electrical service. Do I need to worry about electrical surges coming in through the fiber optic line and destroying any equipment through that path or is the whole house surge protector enough, i.e., can surges come in on the FIOS? ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
