Martin – For whatever reason this feature has not been enabled. I hope that they add this capability soon!

What is the total monthly bill for FIOS bungle with one STB box with all “surcharges” and “taxes” included?

Verizon has updated the widgets to include Weather, Traffic, News Headlines, sports headlines, Fantasy football, What’s hot on FiosTV, What’s hot on demand, and horoscopes.

The STB (2500, 6200, 6416, 7100, and 7216) are all fully compatible with TiVO but you must purchase a separate infrared cable to complete the conversion.

I have had Fios now for about three years now. About 4 months ago, I received a free up grade on my Internet speed to 20mbs up and 20mbs down. As an avid gamer, I set up a server so my brothers and I could take on all comers. When Fios rolled out it’s extreme HD package, I had to reduce the Internet bandwidth to 20 down and 5 up. Verizon service is excellent. Their tech arrived in about three hours, my guide was not updating (cable box was bad), installed a new router, replaced the remotes on both of the DVR’s. He also redid a couple of cable connectors that were poorly done, OK, I was in a hurry and it was a bit sloppy!! The decision to limit the bandwidth for bundles still bugs me, but Fios is still the best game in town.

Duane, thank you for excellent review.

I installed Verizon FIOS bundle ($99/month for 2 years + STB box $4.99) a few days ago after Comcast hiked my price almost 100%. Installation was smooth, and I had no interruptions in internet, voice or Tv service since then.
The only drawback that for this price Verizon gives you only local and Premier packages, which is pretty much a lot, a lot of junk channels. In order to get some limited movie channels, you should pay $20 more, which makes the total price not that competetive.

Two Questions

I’d appreciate any help with the following:

#1. What is the best way to provide the FIOS TV signal to a TV in a kitchen with no TV jack (it does have an Internet jack, and power of course)?

#2. Does anyone know when FIOS TV will be available in Victorville, California (I currently have FIOS telephone and Internet service—both are excellent.

Thank you in advance.
