Hi Guys/Gals,
My wife and I are saying a joyful goodbye to Comcast (which is not so "Comcastic" at all) and having Verizon/FiOS installed in our new house.

Verizon insists that in order to install the new fiber lines, they have to remove the existing copper lines.

I don't want this because it removes our option to return to regular telephone/other service later without incurring a lot of cost and I think it affects the resale value of the home.

Anyone have FiOS installed in your home and were you able to keep your existing copper lines?

Thanks!

BTW, the Verizon website stinks. I spent over an hour on it to order our service (with a live "chat" person to help) and the site kept reconfiguring the order, doubling the service ordered, getting our phone number wrong, and getting our new address wrong. The Verizon guy finally advised me to simply place the order at a later time. What a waste of MY time!!
