Is ^that^ refering to FIOS or your current ISP?

IPv6 support is not a big deal.
1 It can be rolled out at any time in the future
2 Your IPv4 can and may be tunneled/NATed through IPv6 (lots of ISPs use RFC1918/private IP addresses anyway (ie 10.x.x.x)

I assume there's a reason DDoS-Guard is blocked, but I have no idea why. I'd guess that it's got some sort of weakness/vulnerability, but I don't know.

I suppose the complaints could be valid, but it sounds like a keyboard warrior complaining to prove how much smarter they are. But that's just my cynical opinion.

Maybe we should have a new acronym. In addition to IMO and IMHO, we could have IMCO.

I switched from Optimum to FIOS three years ago and never looked back. It's been 100% reliable (unlike Optimum). I pay $40/month for the 300/300 Mbos plan which is enough for all.my streaming needs.

If by streaming ability you mean Netflix or Hulu, or whatever. Yes, tbey will work the same.

Mas... it refers to FIOS

Thanks hb, as you're kinda local that's good info.
