[wplug] Verizon FIOS experience with Linux?

[Greg Simkins]

I have half a clue.  I don't know what a PVC is, but I just got my  
FIOS through Nidhog (www.nidhog.net).  So far, I am quite happy with  
it, but then so far, I have been using mostly Windows and OS X and  
haven't really done much networking.  Good bandwidth though.  (4854  
kbps down/1837 kbps up per http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/).
