[Novalug] Verizon FIOS Question

[Ken Firestone]

Verizon has just brought FIOS to my neighborhood and one, my wife
wants it, and two, I have about had it with Speakeasy/BestBuy.

So I have a question. I gather from previous posts that I should go
for an ethernet rather than a coax connection for internet. I spoke to
one of the Verizon tech guys in the neighborhood today, and he said
that "they don't like to do that," "that I need a good reason for it,"
and "if I use a router other than theirs my tv reception/functionality
will not work correctly." I suspect the last may be bs. So, how do I
go about convincing them to give me the ethernet connection?

Thanks.
