Adrian,
Well, now they say it's FIOS, with an f. Go figure. I still don't understand
how they can create a proprietary trade name for a service using fiber optic
cable, at least if it's telephonic/data cable, because fiber optic cable is
being laid every time work is done on the lines in Los Angeles, so far as
the company and its technicians have given me to believe, and without
provocation or anything. Just matter of fact. So I think i'd have to go to
the Verizon site and just read their own explanation.
FIOS, BIOS, so long as you got your health. That's more Lower East Side or
the Bronx from fifty years ago than Crown Heights or Williamsburg today...

As I understand it, Bios is Verizon's trade name for its fastest DSL
service. I have no idea why it chose to name itself seemingly after PC
technology.

Hi David,
I have no problem with my own ISP, so I'm not getting into this. But what do
you mean by the Verizon bios? I thought bios was a technical term, a
programmer's term for some essential component of an operating system, or
something like that. Is it also a term that attaches to broadband Internet
service providers, or specifically to Verizon's technical specifications?
Sorry, I'm just not very technically sophisticated. Thanks for explaining.

Hi,
I have used verizon bios for some time. I find it easy to use, very few
provider problems and their customer service has been very patient and
competent in helping with the few problems I have had.
I use jfw 7.1 and jfw 9 and both work well with Verizons.
I used to have cablevision and they were awful so I am glad I switched about
a year ago.
David
