I just got FTTP about 2 weeks ago, and I'm loving every minute of it here in Middleboro. The technician was excellent, and walked me through every step of it.

Be warned though, if you get FTTP with phone service, you'll have a battery pack installed in the basement or someplace close to a power source. The battery holds 8hours in case of an outage, and if it dies, your phone dies. However, the tech clued me in. You can get a special 12volt battery that holds up to 500hours of life.

But the FIOS/FTTP internet smokes Comcast cable for speed. And the Tech says TV will be out in Middleboro in the next couple of months.

And FIOS/FTTP is cheaper than Comcast internet. Go figure.
