Any one out there seen this new phone service and how it might work with
alarms? It's a Verizon fiber optic phone and internet service.

spike said:would the phone service be ok for upload and downloading of panels with a
modem too?
how do you like their internet service. really fast?
Robert L Bass said:Who provides power for the fiberoptic interface at the house -- telco or
subscriber?

Robert L Bass said:It appears that the subscriber provides power for the device. If so, that
leaves us with one of the same issues as VoIP -- loss of communication
during a power outage.
BTW, I called my telco provider in Brazil to reactivate my phone lines and DSL
(1 Gig upload / 3+ download).
They report that they
finished the connection today. I'll know for certain when I arrive but that's
one heck of a lot faster than Verizon in south Florida.
The last time took them almost a month and they still had problems. It's a
sad state of affairs when one of the largest
providers in the USA is being outdone by a 3rd world telco.
What exactly do these figures represent?
If it's "speed", you expect us to believe that
a third world country has better DSL than
what's available in North America?
According to www.dslreports.com/archive
only one ISP in Brazil comes close to the
"download" connection speeds you've
boasted.
Robert said:The provider I use has already demonstrated better speeds than what you quoted. However, that was not the point. I was simply
surprised, not to mention pleased, that they were able to get us connected so quickly, especially after the ridiculously long wait
to get Verizon to do anything.
Robert L Bass said:bzzzzttt. wrong again. the link I posted clearly states back up battery.
Robert said:BTW, what have you been up to since last we met? Been made a vice-president yet?
