This past weekend I had scheduled an install for FIOS Broadband 5/2. It was scheduled between 8:00am and 11:00am on Saturday.
On Thursday, the outside crew ran the Fiber from two homes down to my home.
On Saturday, David, the Verizon tech, showed up about 8:30am. I wasn't home but my wife was. David, according to my wife, was really nice and was only there for about 90 minutes. I already prewired my home so all David did was connect my cable to the box outside.
He then plugged in the Verizon supplied D-Link wireless router into my cable in my office and tested the router. After my wife created an account (email) he went on his way.
I still have Road Runner and will continue to have it for a couple of weeks. I want to do some comparisons before I cancel RR.
Question: The tech never supplied me with the PPPoE username and password. I want it because I probably will change the router. Did they supply you with yours? Did you have to call to get it? Do you even know yours?
FYI: Verizon uses the T568B wiring standard.
Also FYI: In order to use their SMTP server (outgoing.verizon.net) with your own domain (mail@yourdomain.com) you must authenicate your account. If not you will need to use their email account in the FROM: section (mail@verizon.net) for your email.
