- From what it says on Verizon's site, it seems that the customer is the
one responsible for replacing the UPS units after they go bad.

Also, if sound quality is important (I think I recall someone mentioning
landline sound quality being better than wireless) I'm thinking fiber
would have quite a dramatic improvement in quality (Verizon's site
mentioned that customers might need to buy new phones. Perhaps they're
fully digital? Could someone confirm that?)

Does anyone know of specific areas near the city that have FIOS? I'm
thinking a change in scenery is in order, and although it's not my
biggest worry, I'm thinking it would be a plus to find an apartment with
fiber hookups. I cannot find any service maps showing were fiber has
been laid.
