i have it, internet and phone service,
im not a gamer and i find it really good, its really fast, easy to use, if its slow its mostly the computer or the IP address that was givin to your computer (turn off modem and wait about a minute and turn it back on)
houses nomrally arent prewired unless done so by electrician or service installer,
note: verizon internet security suit/radialpoint internet security, if you are using a windows 2000, your better off with AVG.
what i likebest about it, if stumped and calling tech support, (differant depending on area) at least the number is within the united states and the techs are trained and to some (depending on your mood or skill level) will talk about vintage computing or craete intersting technical smalltalk (done to me a few times, taugth him a thing ot 2)
when getting modem, modems for broadband are actiontec (it will say verizon on the case, but is the m1424WR model) the installation tech may not know how to set it up by heart and may end up calling tech support(i have "taken over" during modem setup, one tech (last one) actually did was went to his truck, came back in with his laptop and had me set it up for him!
