yeah your vod and widget dont work with an amp due to vod an widgets works off the internet signal and an amp doesnt allow internet (return) to pass if you took that amp to your modem and hooked it up you modem wouldnt work hope this helps

First of all that install is horrible,
why mount the modem on your wall in the open, also verizon uses old school fittings and splitters wich well being fiber optic experts (not cable had fiber first) you think they would come out with a better splitter and ends, plus they take your public access t.v and out the window it goes

OPTIMUM OWNS, FIOS BLOWS.
Firstly Verizon is the most evil teleco i have ever encountered that only spews BS lies and thrives on ppl being ignorant/uninformed. They make ppl think that just because fiber is in the house that means its better == BS. Modern cable infrastructure is mostly fiber, they only use coax from the pole/switchbox to ur house, that saves them and u money on running fiber into the premises which wouldnt add any benefits to the enduser or the cable company. Modern embedded signal processors are now fast enough to transmit data over copper as fast as most fiber implementations. The only advantage fiber has in this situation is that the cable can be longer without needing a repeater to boost the signal(less attenuation). which in the case of cable infrastructure is usually meaningless. So wats left, speed, price, and stability of the service. Since both infrastructures are mostly fiber, the stability is the same, and the speed/price are much much better from optimum. Verizon loves raping their customers. Both TV services offer the same quality HD service so that claim vz makes thats its the best quality, is yet again another lie. So in comparison of FIOS and OOL, only a retard picks FIOS if OOL is an available option.
I also wanna mention how badely their wireless services are. They use oldschool cdma2000 technology, that in no way is able compete with the speed, quality, and availablity of gsm/umts/hsdpa. For some reason ppl think verizon has the best service, and I think that is due to BS advertisements, and retards trying to justify their expensive crappy phones/service. Also the phones they use are exclusive to them(totalcrap) or are manufacturer modified gsm phones made to work with cdma which are released months after the gsm versions hit the market. The latter are made poorly made cuz they use crappy cdma chips that are bigger and use more power which stresses the original(gsm) design of those phones resulting in inferior overall quality compared to their gsm counterparts.
P.S. the security on the VZWireless network is a joke, a 10yr old with some skills can evesdrop on and/or hijack any phonecalls u make.
P.P.S evesdropping/hijacking is also possible on gsm but is harder to achieve. Shh

[...] Verizon FiOS: The Installation Within this article Fragzem does a great job outlining the full process of how FiOS was installed in his home. He goes in to great detail and offers pictures of his speed test. Longer read but worth while if you are thinking of having FiOS installed. [...]

Oliver: the VOD and widgets use the coax instead of CAT5 to carry IP from the Actiontec router. You need a drop amp capable of passing back from the STB a 1000MHz or 1150MHz signal.

Fragzem: the coax connector is called an “F” connector _not_ a “BNC”. F connectors are threaded and uses the coax center wire, where the BNC is a bayonet twist-locking connector with center pin.

I saw this add on the Star Ledger today and it said Verizon FiOS is better because its faster, and has more HD channels then Optimum. Optimnum is real great, but Verizon has the WORST and I mean WORST costumer service ever, to keep it short, its just too good(both of them)!

Upload speeds are great, between 4.5 and 5.3
Mbs anytime of day. Downloads used to be between
27-32 anytime of day but have taken a turn for the worst sinse 4/1/09. Early Am I get between 15-20
Daytime 7-10Mbs. OOL, being a shared pipe, is not
compensating for the draw on the network, something the service agents said, it WAS prepared to handle.
OOL will intraduce another service Ultra2 coming soom
which is supposed toprovide 100Mbs down and 50 Mbs up.
Im guessing the pricing will be through the moon,
making it totally unaffordable.
Anyone have experience with FIOS and if so how are the speeds.

Fios has worked out their billing issues. The consistancy and speed of their internet is better than Optimum on Line. The TV pictures are so much better its not even close. Dollar for dollar, Fios is the better, high tech all in one solution
