[PLUG] OT: FiOS ONT replacement

[JP Vossen via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

Verizon keeps bugging me about replacing our FiOS ONT.  I've been putting it off, because what we have now has Just Worked for a *long* time, and more because it is configured with a simple Ethernet jack, into which I plug my pfSense FW WAN interface.  No black boxes or any crap like that, just Ethernet.

I'm worried that a) when I call them they will say, "What's Ethernet" and b), no matter what assurances they give on the phone, the guy who shows up will either say "What's Ethernet" or "We can't do it that way anymore."

Clues or local experiences?  (For reference, I'm in Collegeville.)

Thanks,
JP
