Hello, this is ZPower124! I have had Frontier for well over 7 years now... their infrastructure has NEVER been upgraded.. Same damn 3MBPS.. Where I live (Up by Canada area) there is a DSLAM in the WEEDS and in the summer you cannot even see it, due to the weeds getting very high! I have called a general manager and they took 5 dollars off of our monthly bill! Like that makes up for getting 0.12MBPS and a ping that never goes under 200.. All games are unplayable!
I have contacted LOCAL staff and gave them 17 pages of the issues of Frontier... Amazingly they came back and said it was all true.
Are their ANY other ways other than Satellite to get faster internet! But what really bothers me, down the road from our house, less then 2 miles away is a fiber-optic line with 600MBPS+ connections. One time while playing CS:GO I was asked,"Are you playing in a shack in the woods with that ping,"
I have disconnected all devices but one Ethernet PC and only got 0.5MBPS! With a ping of 600MS (I tested today)
The issue is congestion, that no one will do anything about..... Can someone explain the possibility of buying my own DSLAM... We have already attempted to go to other extreme measures to get better internet...
With all due respect,
ZPower

[FIOS] Caller ID and custom ONT/Router setups
Hard to explain in a short subject.
I have a custom setup.
ONT => Ethernet => Linux Router => Actiontek Router => STB
My VOD and Guide works but I can't control my DVR or see CallerID
I think I used these instructions a long while back:
https://www.dslreports.com/faq/15992
All FAQs Verizon Online FiOS FAQ 3.1 Actiontec
Replacing the Actiontec (part 3): WAN-to-LAN keeps Guide and VOD (easier)
Just wondering if anyone has gone down this path AND has the CallerID and RemoteDVR stuff working.
I've lived without these for months and months.. but they would be nice features to have if they.
Thanks - jack

[FIOS] Is the help line still in USA?
I hate to ask, but the past few days when I call Frontier about my TVeverywhere and Music Choice issue, it sure sounds like I am calling out of the Country like other vendors do. Everything I say has to be repeated and the "tech" obviously has no idea what I am talking about! They used to say welcome and I am in Washington or Indiana, but no more!

Cable box updates - any workaround
Any time Frontier (and formerly Verizon) updates the software on the box, it goes to this "Push the Fios button now to view live TV" screen after reboot.
Anyone know a workaround for this? It's causing my dad some serious annoyance since he ends up with hours of that stupid, pointless screen on the Tivo.
Box is a Motorola QIP2500-3.

Digital Voice Nomorobo Issue -- Probable Solution
I thought this information in a focused thread as it might be helpful for a specific issue.
For those CA, TX and FL customers who use Nomorobo to intercept robo calls and Nomorobo isn't working, the issue may be that your simultaneous ring feature was disabled somewhere along the line, most likely a result of your DV service going down and coming back without having your full settings. This happened to me, and the solution is to check the DV settings for simultaneous ring via the web portal (or mobile app) to ensure that the settings are enabled with the correct Nomorobo for Frontier. The Nomorobo number is 202-813-1675. My DV account was rebuilt several times and each time I had to fix simultaneous ring (along with other settings). Thankfully, Nomorobo is now doing its thing.

terminate new fios install with ethernet
I'm about to order fios at 150/150 but they require me to either rent or purchase their provided modem/gateway, which i found out is running off coax.
My house in question does not have an ONT device installed, which I assume will be done upon order and installation.
From what i've gathered online, the Ethernet port should blast out some IP and allow me to run a cat5 cable straight from the ONT directly into a router of my choosing bypassing the frontier provided gateway all together.
A couple of things I want done:
-I don't want to double route my home network or "bridge" the frontier gateway to my router. If my above information is remotely accurate i should be able to bypass that.
-I have ZERO plans to get phone or television with them, i'm perfectly fine with internet.
-I save $200 by not buying their rubbish equipment.
I have already contacted frontier with my proposed setup but they shot me down saying that fios MUST run through coax. I'm going to assume all those sales folks are either sticking to their pre-written script or have no clue what i'm talking about.
Bottom line... has anyone gotten this setup? Know a number i need to call to get this rolling?????

[FIOS] Actiontec router becoming inaccessible
I'm a California FiOS customer. I've been having a problem with my Actiontec MI424WR-GEN3I router. It periodically becomes inaccessible. By this I mean that from a local wired connection, I cannot ping the router. It lasts for only about 30 seconds. When I then look at the log file after it recovers, I see 4 messages with invalid dates (2007-12-14) (WAN Coax Link up, LAN Coax Link Up, WAN Ethernet Link Up, DHCP WAN connection ...) followed by this message in the log, "HTTP/HTTPS Firmware Upgrade Failed in retrieving new version", followed by others concerning WAN and LAN coax link rates and DHCP LAN connections for various devices. These are from the basic log; there are other messages in the advanced log.
I don't remember exactly when I first experienced this, but think it began on or about the Verizon/Frontier transition. In examining the log, the first instance of these messages on either 31-Mar or 1-Apr but I can't tell exactly when because of the entries with the 2007 year.
When I copy the url for the firmware upgrade check, I get a message from my browser that: "upgrade.actiontec.com uses an invalid security certificate."
Questions:
The router seems to be rebooting spontaneously. Is this correct?
If so, does this mean it is failing and should be replaced?
If not, any idea what is causing this?
Is the failed firmware upgrade check something to be concerned about?
Is the firmware upgrade check being caused by the invalid site certificate?
Should I report this to either Frontier or to Actiontec or both?
Is it merely coincidence that it began right about the time that service was transitioning from Verizon to Frontier?
My Actiontec router is at firmware version 40.21.18.
Thanks for any help.

dsl pots splitter module help
My current wiring setup is from the NID, a single cat5e cable running in to the house and connected to an rj11 jack. From the jack, a filter is connected to the jack and one line goes to our phone and the other to the modem.
My neighbor said that the module inside my NID is a dsl pots splitter module (similiar to the item in the link below). He says that one of the output connectors is only data so no filter would be needed and I should run another wire from that to my modem. Then I can take the filter off of my phone line because both connections would be separated. Is this correct?
