Grrrr seems like everyone I talk to about this has the same setup.
Am I the only geek in philly with MoCA?

No MoCA here! When I signed up for FiOS, TV was not available in my
area. I am in a kind of unique situation in that I run my business from FiOS
but my TV and phone are from other providers.
As a side benefit, since it is Internet only, I do not pay sales Tax
or any of the other usual Verizon add on fees. The price they quoted me for
the service, is what I write the check for every month. It will be interesting
to see what happens to the price, when my contract expires in January.
