    "FiOS" means that Verizon is your ISP, correct? I have not had the time to investigate their policy on home-based servers on their new FiOS network. Do you know anything about such policy? Do they permit servers at all? In terms of reliability, does it represent a viable alternative to T-1 service? I presume that FiOS is highly reliable. Is that correct?
