I only use FiOS for Small Biz grade internet access…I wonder what they’d do if I decided to order home Tee Vee too… run another fiber, or try to use the existing.

I get 2 separate billings.. one for the phone/tv on 2play or what ever they call the package and second on fios for business with 5 static ip addresses... so I have my firewall router on the computer side and use theirs for the tv/phone.. They whined at first about me using my router "said that they couldnt get into my network if I used my own router/firewall"... at first but I pointed out that their responsibility eneded at the demarc and I didnt want them in my network... lol. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew S.

If I could figure out how to do it, I'd get their router out of the way and get my VPN tunnels back to normal. -ASB: http://XeeSM.com/AndrewBaker On Mon, Jun 28, 2010 at 3:49 PM, justino garcia <jgarciaitl...@gmail.com> wrote: can't you connect your cisco gear in to thier ont. I setup one office, and the fios tech just left me with ethernet from the ONT, and I then could setup my firewall with the static ips provided by fios. ethernet from ONT to A public Switch then the other firewalls connect to the public switch, and each one is set with a static ip. You only need the actiontec router, if you also going to use fios tv. Anyone know if you can connect your own SMB grade firewall / nat device / router to fios tv ???

They will hand you an Ethernet right from the ONT they install which actually terminates the fiber to your premise. As someone mentioned, if you are using their TV service then no it requires it to work.

I am working on a 120 site ADSL roll-out and I am fighting with Verizon, Covad and at&t to let us use the cisco 881 G and not there DSL modem. I would like my design to only have one box on site.

Great information. Seems like for 32 users and 3 VPN users it should work fine. Yep planned on ripping their router out.

The majority of my customers have moved to FIOS 20/5 or 50/20 and it works quite well. I cannot think of any customer who has been down other than power issues or their actiontec router and the bandwidth while not guaranteed always tests quite high. Of course when you are talking about an SMB with 10 users if they are getting 40 vs 50…not really a big problem.. :-) Their router..actiontec…piece of garbage… That’s the only piece. Put in a real firewall and experience troublefree internet. You don’t have to use their router at all. They will give you an Ethernet handoff.

I have a side job that came up for a medical building. They have 32 users and 3 people that will need to VPN into the network from remote satelite offices. I know FIOS bandwidth isn't guaranteed but will I be safe getting 35meg/35meg or 50/20 for this amount of users that need internet/vpn access? I have a cisco 5505 that will sit behind the FIOS router. Thanks for the input.
