[NTLUG:Discuss] FIOS

[Greg Edwards]

I guess I didn't explain clearly.  My network is already connected so 
I would just be switching from DSL to FIOS.  I need to know how the 
Verizon FIOS gets from their equipment on the exterior wall to my 
server.  I haven't been able to find that info.

DSL comes in on a twisted pair to modem that connects to my server via 
ethernet.  Is FIOS any different?
