Install went very smooth. The tech. was very knowledgable and plesant. Speeds are killer for the price as well. The only thing I don’t like about the service is the Actiontec Router. The wireless performance on the unit are less then up to par. I attempted to use my Linksys WRT54GX router, but it was not syncing up to the modem. I had to disable the wireless settings on the Actiontec, plug the WRT54GX in, do some IP address changing, and I was back up to full speed. Anywhere in my house I can now get a constant 15/1.8. ![http://www.applianceservice-center.com/sean/SpeedTest/Test.JPG](http://www.applianceservice-center.com/sean/SpeedTest/Test.JPG) ---

I have a question for the FIOS experts…I had this installed a month or 2 ago and I was very pleased with everything. Lately it has quit worked fairly often and seems to be slowed down when it does work. Is there a problem with the system or is it my PC. If it is my PC then why did it work fine for so long? I run my spyware protection about once every week. Any clues…please note it has been almost a year since I looked at porn…haha ---

He and I were rofling over installation stories of Pentium Me boxes w/ 64m ram in which case the network connection is much faster than the computer can load internet pages. ---

run a defrag and if that doesn’t help, add more ram. If it’s still slow, throw it away and get a new one. 😃 ---
