Well I'm very happy to have FIOS back on , since what's been going on with my Spectrum Internet connection lately, with having to plull the plug on the modemupwards of 5 to 10 times a day, and my youngest son driving me and mom CRAZY .
So with fingers crossed and a few prayers I went and bought a new CAT 7 Plenum , underground rated and outdoor rated cable, set it on my old MOM mirror polising machine now rusting outdoors next to my water heater and ONT , and still reeling from my experience with the last FELLOW , that came out 2 years ago to fix my fios issues ( Frontier issues and tons of blames on MY equipment, and no TV pictures for 2 weeks I finally told him to pack and go away , and called Spectrum , and it had worked just fine until my year was up (insert all kinds of conspiracies LOL ) and 2 months before the Covid fiasco began .
So I'm at work dealing with road calls ( big rigs 18 wheeler issues out on the road ) i get my first text we are heading to your home. K00l , I texted my older son is waiting with MASK and a laptop to test AFTER unit is hung up.
finally wife calls , says the guy put in a new one inside the OLD shell and my son claims the connection is blindingly fast . Came home half ass strung up the cable into the attic and ran it to my PFSENSE router. ONE THING , the guy did not leave a ROUTER ? that Frontier wasnts me to pay for 10.00 a month. Called them up , set up my NEW account and asked the young lady who said , NO there was NO equipment left , NO ROUTER , so you won't have to pay for it . WHOOOOOHOOOOOOO. I guess we will see when the bill arrives ;)
the installer put in a Motorola model ONT1000GT3-OPT-VZ FG REV 07 . HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A SPEC SHEET ON IT , BUT DID FIND THE ONE FOR THE GT2 ?
ANYWAYS I now have the 2 internet connection WAN 1 with Frontier and WAN 2 with Spectrum as a fall back. my youngest loves that 2ms connections to his friends in NY game rooms ....
