Ubuntu 9.10 is out, get it at http://www.ubuntu.com/. I’m planning on checking out UNR this weekend.
Month: October 2009
That was easy. I ordered Vonage yesterday and my V-Portal arrived today. All I did was plug the Internet port into my FIOS router and my wireless phone into the phone jack. Once it acquired an IP address, it downloaded a firmware update and rebooted. That was it and I was off and running.
Before I converted to FIOS, my Optimum Triple Play came with a phone line via the cable modem. I had the regular house line with Verizon and a home office line with Cablevision. I used that line strictly for work. It was the number that the NOC would call in the middle of the night […]

FIOS channel guide not updating?
I examined the logs for my visitors and noticed a couple of hits for the search “FIOS channel guide not updating”. When my FIOS was installed last week, I had that exact problem and here is what I found out. Make sure your FIOS cable modem is working. Log into http://192.168.1.1/ with the default admin […]

My Internet and TV viewing works well but for some reason the guide data is not being loaded onto the set top boxes. While I am waiting for the (hopefully) Monday morning fix to my TV guide data, here is what you get with FIOS. 1. A weather sealed FIOS box that performs the hand […]
The phone is flawless and the Internet connection is amazing. See the SPEEDTEST.NET results to the right. I just have a small problem with my digital TV service. At the moment I have no picture at all. Earlier I had picture and all my channels but I did not have the channel guide. An hour […]

I want to believe (in FIOS that is)
