How to use your new fiber connection
A Broadband Reports forum reader has posted a copy of what looks like the end-user's operating manual for Verizon's new Fios fiber optic service. No surprises, but it does contain a few interesting details. The service is run off a home's power source, so if there's a blackout, battery power is necessary. That means that if you're using it for your phone service, the phone dies in 8 hours. If you live in earthquake-prone California, you might want to have a cell phone.
