It's a little complicated because their TV service also runs through the box they give you. But I think you can. You can definitely buy one through them.
That's only complicated if we aren't talking about Internet.
Buy one through them? Are you sure? I don't believe that I have that option. It's just included. There is no modem as there is no analogue line here. It's an Ethernet handoff. Nothing needed, it goes straight to your firewall.
It was in my original post on this. $60 for your own router.
You need that if you want TV. Doesn't work without it, I don't believe.

YOu always need your own firewall. But that's separate from the bridge (modem.)

That's really weird. Mine is Ethernet at home.
Do you also have TV through them?

There isn't a modem, per se, with FiOS.
In my house (as in most I have seen) it comes in to this box as COAX.
The box (router) does wireless, hard wired, and runs the cable boxes.

Because with cable internet, the gear that they lease or sell you is overpriced crap.
But they don't sell or lease anything with FiOS.
Which is why I inquired about that equipment. Fiber is supposedly "on the way", so I was wondering about the equipment deal... like should I be watching for a sale price on anything in particular.
Such as? I just use the Ubiquiti.
I meant the modem side. I use a Motorola Surfboard instead of the BS from comcrap. I didn't realize that fiber was just an ethernet handoff, that negates my question kinda. I have all the firewall/router stuff to connect to the handoff.

But that isn't always true.
Are you just getting Internet? Then it might be true.

10 hours until the conference, or it took 10 hours for the meeting?

That's a LONG time for everyone to not be working.

Of course... never bundle things with your iSP!
That and I've never paid for television.
