Verzion has partners who will sell you fios through them who will
allow you to run servers. These Vadi resellers are alot of the time
the same people who provide 3rd party dsl support. The smart ones paid
verizon the big money to offer to resell fios, with the same concept
as before, the dsl or fiber heads to the C/O where it will then drop
on into the other companies connection. Like rapidsystems offers it
, (they need to updater there website with the new packages but
rapidsys.com, I use them for dsl and have a client using them for fios
and they absolutely love it. They use L3 for there backbone)
