Guys and Gals,
Thanks for all your help! We set up the new account today and now my wife will be able to enjoy channels from both Peru and her native Spain.
I've done a little research and learned that Verizon will not remove any copper wire if it is already buried as it is at our new house. I'll take a good look around the property before the installation to plan where to have them put thr new box.
One question: I see that the fiber comes up to the house and then uses the existing coaxalcables already in the house. Isn't this like an 8 lane highway being squeezed into a two lane highway? Is there any data speed loss in the process? I figured it would be fiber optics the entire route from Verizon to each TV and computer router.
Thanks again!
