My installer tried to use the coax also, but it said right in the contract that they would run a Cat5. Installers are lazy. If you let them they won't do anything. You will notice on the Fios termination box, there is a connect for a Cat5 cable. At least there is on mine. I assume Fios is using all the same equipment everywhere.
What a bunch of BS. I have FIOS, and you do not get a cable modem in the house. The router (not modem) that they give you has a Coax connection on it to use an existing coax to run from the box into your house. If you are willing to let them do that. I have a Cat 5 cable that they ran from the fiber termination box into my house. It is part of the install. I then replaced the crappy actiontec router with a real router & it is a router not a modem. This sounds like cable company PR.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
