Fios TV access to non Verizon Internet

How can I get my Verizon Fios TV to interact with a non Verizon Internet?
I currently have Charter Communications for Internet Service.
Thanks
Deb

It will still work just fine. You need to make sure your Verizon internet router is still hooked up. Even though you dont have internet service, the router is still needed. The TV uses the Verizon router for program guide, video on demand, and widgets.

  • Using Eudora or Netscape7 for non-verizon email accounts with FIOS for access

    Since Verizon does not give tech support to 3rd party email clients, and using a non-Verizon email account creates additional problems, I decided to share what I learned the very hard way....certainly with no help whatever from Verizon tech support.
    First of all, there may have been a time (a day, a month, some random nanosecond) when you had to change the port to 587 it is no longer the case.  Port 25 works just fine, and in fact 587 no longer works in most cases.  So ignore tech support's claim that all you have to do is change the port number to 587...don't do it.
    And so long as you want to use a pop account other than verizon for your incoming email you will have to use what is referred to as SMTP Relay.  Verizon tech support will tell you that Verizon no longer supports SMTP Relay, and technically speaking that is true, but Verizon SMTP Relay is not what you need anyway.  What you need is to use the SMTP Relay facility of your Email Client, in my case Eudora and (for my wife) Netscape 7.
    Now before you can actually do anything you will have to have a valid Verizon email account, even if you never plan to actually use your verizon email address.  That means before you can set up your email client you must have a verizon email address. The tech who installed my FIOS supposedly set up my computer, which meant I had internet access, but he didn't set up the verizon email address.  I wasted 2 days before this came to light...so just make sure you have one before starting.
    Netscape 7.0  has an email client my wife has used forever so I had to make it work for Verizon FIOS.  Fortunatly they have a built in SMTP Relay facility (although they never call it that).  You set up your pop (incoming) server the way you always have.  In my our email accounts are on Earthlink, so you use the earthlink POP server for your incoming email.  If you are switching from whatever you have to Verizon FIOS, you will already have that set up anyway.  But you will have to change the SMTP server address to outgoing.verizon.net    and you will have to click the box that says Use Authentication, with  User Name and Password.  You will put into the User Name your verizon email account except without the .verizon.net    And the first time you use this Client to send email it will ask your for your password (use your Verizon password) and you should check the box that says to remember this password.    This will make everything work fine.  You will see on the SMTP Server information page a box that allows you to fill in the port.  If you leave it blank it will use port 25.  If you put in another port number it has to be right, and what is the correct number keeps changing based on which verizon person you talk to.  I found that 25 works, although they say it won't, and that others don't work, although they say they will.
    To Use Eudora (as i do)  first you have to be using the latest version 7.1 because it appears to be the first one that truely supports SMTP Relay. That's a free download if you don't have it.   Then you have to use multiple personalities.  Effectively you set up one personality (go to to tools and click on personalities) which is your normal email account (ie not your verizon one).  This is used for everything with the exception of the SMTP Server interaction.  YOu then set up a second personality which is for your Verizon email account. Be aware that you can still have that account use your normal email return address so folks who receive email from you can reply to your normal email address.  You can, independantly from that set up your incoming email pop account to be either your normal one or your verizon incoming email account (I do it the later way so I can receive something actually sent to my Verizon account, although I never give that out.  But now the important thing is that you set up your SMTP server to be outgoing.verizon.net  set up User Name to be your verizon email account but without the verizon.net and click on Authentication Allowed and Use Relay Personality.  Don't click on Use submission port 587, like I said you want to use 25, but if verizon has changed that yet again no problem as you can set up the port to use independantly using the Tools/Options/Ports , and finally you go to the Tools/Options/SendingMail stuff and select the SMTP Relay Personality to be the one that is set up for the Verizon email account.  That means your client will operate using your primary personality for everything except the SMTP part and for that it will get all its parameters from the Relay Personality. 
    This all worked.

    I use Eudora a my email client and routinely receive both my Verizon and ATT emails. 
    The last email I received  from my Verizon account was at 10:30pm on August 5.  I cannot send emails from Eudora at all either.
    My Verizon DSL email account is active through Verizon-Florida at my home there.  I am currently at my Ohio home and the DSL account is with Frontier which purchased Verizon here in Ohio.
    Does anyone know what might have happened to have resulted in my emails not being sent to or from my Eudora Client?

  • Verizon Internet Security Suite/ 3 and Fios Inside Wire Maintenance Plans

    I just noticed yesterday that I had been charged $6.99 a month for the "FIOS inside Maintenance Plan" and $5.95 a month for the Verizon Internet Security Suite/3 for the past 4 years. After calling customer service to inquire about these plans, I now understand that these plans are optional and automatically added to your bill unless you personally call and have Verizon remove them from your service.
    Wanted to share some thoughts and see if people out there feel the same way I do.
    I understand the Inside Maintenance Plan but I question the economical value to the customer, especially if it does not know it is paying for the plan.
    I do not understand the Internet Security Suite/3. Here I feel it is a total rip off. Nobody has been able to convey what the plan is all about and what value it adds to the customer.
    I feel that have been deceived and misled into paying for two plans I did not know I had because nobody presented the optional plans to me when I placed my order. Verizon provides these plans to you for free for 30 days, and if you don't call to cancel, the service continues automatically.
    Granted, if you carefully read your bill, as the Customer Service Representative so judiciously told me, you will notice that these plans are added to your bill as separate line items and up to you to question them. I personally think that these practices are unethical, benefit the company, and at the end, it is always the customer that loses. Whether these plans have merit or not, Verizon should be clear and transparent with its customers when they place their orders. The customers must be given all the information they need about these plans so they can make rational decisions on whether they will really benefit from these plans and be given the opportunity to decline these plans when they configure the order of their new service. Furthermore, I really see no value for Verizon to throw these plans in for free for one month as there is no measurable way for the customer to determine whether these plans provide any kind or value to them. Whether deliberate or not, what ends up happening is that hundreds of thousands of customers fail to follow up after one month to cancel the plans and they ended paying for them until they realize just like me that they had been paying for something they did not want at the first place. If Verizon offers the plans for free trial to its customers, the burden should be on Verizon to follow up with the customers to determine if they want to continue the plan or not. That seems to me like a fair compromise.

    Verizon Internet Security Suite is nothing more than money down the drain.  It's a throw away.  Get rid of it and use avast.com and malwarebytes.com, free virus programs that can do the job a lot better.  VISS kept saying for the longest time that my computer had no viruses until one day it slowed down to the point where I could no longer get onto the Internet, all because of viruses that VISS never detected!  What Verizon doesn't tell you is that it's the cheapest program on which Verizon can get the lowest bid and don't be fooled just because it's "powered" by McAfee.  I had to pay a computer expert from the phone book 165 bucks to learn this and at least now I am saving money. 

  • Verizon internet customers seem to have issues with 1 game - Marvel Puzzle Quest

    There's a game , Marvel Puzzle Quest which had an update yesterday, and since then on load, it loses connection to the server after about 14-15 seconds.  Every single time.
    I have Verizon DSL, and other folks on the game's forum in Steam who have Verizon FIOS are all experiencing the same issues.
    Non-Verizon customers seem to be able to launch the game just fine.
    So I'm guessing the game update introduced something which runs afoul of Verizon's rules or something, and the connections get killed.
    Anyone have any clue?  
    The game seems to talk to these servers:
    23.21.90.83:443
    54.230.206.27:80
    108.168.211.134:80

    I just got off the phone with VZ wireless tech support on a separate issue I was having with my 4620L JetPack. After discussing that issue, I asked about Intranet data usage and whether or not it is considered part of the data plan usage because I had seen both yes and no opinions from online discussions on the subject. She checked with the IT department to be sure and said that no it does NOT count against the data plan as long as it does not use the Internet, i.e.,  the cell tower network. Last month I used my Apple TV to display quite a few photos from my MacBook Pro using the JetPack's wifi network and a couple of days later got a notice that I was about to exceed by monthly 10GB data budget. This hardly ever happens so I'm not entirely convinced there isn't at least some usage of the VZW network when doing local Intranet transfers. I plan to do some testing this month by checking my data plan usage before and after doing a lot of local photo transfers.
    Incidentally, I purchased a separate wireless router a while ago for just this reason and also because it has a stronger wifi signal than the JetPack so it's my backup plan in case local data transfer is in fact incurring any charges against my data plan.

  • Non-Verizon e-mail account

    Does anyone know if I can keep my non-Verizon e-mail accounts when I get a FIOS connection?  The reason I ask is I previously had a Verizon DSL account and I could not use my e-mail account with a seperate ISP.  Is this scenario possible with a FIOS Internet account?

    On residential accounts Verizon blocks port 25 on all but their SMTP server, on the Verizon network. You would need to route your mail through outgoing.verizon.net.

I have been using Outlook Connector with MAPI connecting to my msn account, but suspect it would work with other web based email accounts.
    I have seen this stated many times, but I have had no trouble sending emails using an sbcgobal server for the last two years while using my FiOS connection. I have AT&T DSL service at a lake house and I have that account defined in my Outlook Express with the SMTP server specified as smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com, using Port 25. I don't use that account for sending very often when I am on FiOS, but I just did another test and and the email went just fine (I sent it to one of my Verizon email accounts and received it just fine, and looking at the source of the email it clearly shows it came from the AT&T server). I also do the reverse, send from my FiOS email account using OE while connected via AT&T (I did have trouble in the beginning because they were blocking Port 25, but a short phone call to their tech support fixed that problem).
    I don't know whether Verizon only blocks port 25 in certain areas of the country, or perhaps have removed the block completely, but it most certainly works ok for me.

  • Connecting a new Windows 7 computer to Verizon internet

    Hello - I will be adding a brand new computer with Windows 7 to my friend's current Verizon internet service, High Speed Internet (DSL). Do I need to know any username/password or other configuration information to establish the internet connection or will Windows 7 be able to detect, configure and connect by itself once we plug in the ethernet cable?
    Thanks!

    As far as the Internet is concerned, No, you won't need a username and password just to access the web. However, you will need this information for acess to Verizon's Web based email or if you are using an external email program.
    The Username and Password for the DSL account is stored in the DSL modem. As long as you don't do a factory reset on the modem you should be fine.
    For the configuration, as long as the Ethernet is enabled on the new pc and TCP/IP is installed you should be good to go. (usually this is by default).

  • Direct Access for Non Domain Machines

    Hi,
    In My IT-infra, there is multiple machines that is out my Office network & Domain..
    Can we join these machines in domain via Direct Access implementation ? or for implementing Direct Access we required to join those non domain & out of office network machine to Domain first ?
    secondly, can we implement the Direct access without any public certificate purchase, and without any IPV6 configuring in internal network,machines and in servers .currently i am using IPv4  IP on all Machines & Servers.
    I have gone through the Direct Access Technet guide but i feel very complex document there ...can you please brief me about direct access implementation in simpale way, i want to implement direct access to join the internet based client machines  to
    domain and manage via/for SCCM ...
    Shailendra Dev

    Correct, DirectAccess clients must be domain joined. Also, only Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 7 Enterprise, or Windows 8 Enterprise clients are able to be DirectAccess connected, so that may also make a difference to your situation. I see many customers deploy
    DirectAccess for those Win7/Win8 domain-joined systems, and then make use of the traditional (RRAS) VPN on the same DirectAccess server for connecting any other operating systems or non-domain-joined machines. Those would just have to launch a manual VPN connection,
    where the DirectAccess connections are of course automatically connected.
    You don't "have" to use an SSL certificate that you purchased from a public CA, but you really should. It is definitely a best practice to use a trusted public certificate on your DirectAccess server. Further, if you have Windows 8 client computers,
    you don't even need to distribute the machine certificates inside your network, but it is also a best practice that you do this anyway, to strengthen the authentication process.
    No, you do not need IPv6 inside your network at all for DirectAccess to work.
    Sounds like you might be interested in some additional reading on DA, here are the two books available on the subject:

  • Looking to get Verizon Internet

    Looking to get Verizon internet. I have fios lines but the service is not available, called in a few times for the last few months and keep getting told I have to wait for engineering to figure out what's up. Anyone here know something I can do to speed things along?

    Homefusion comes with antenna that is mounted OUTSIDE of your dwelling. That why they send someone out to install it. It also comes with the router. You're thinking of Share Everything data only plans. Where you pay $20 for the mi-fi and then pay extra on the data pending how much you want.  Share Everything with a mi-fi and 10 GB would be $80 a month when you can get Homefusion for $60 for the same 10 GB. An considering the antenna is more power and outside you're a lot more likely to get reception with Homefusion. In either case it should be noted you'll need to pass a credit check and sign a two year contract.

  • How long does it take for Verizon Internet Security Suite Powered by McAfee to download?

    It's taking a long time for the software to download! I'm wondering how long did it take to download for your computer. The Verizon Servicepoint is still on the same thing saying, "Please wait while the page is loaded." But I've waited a long time now and it hasn't changed. Should I keep on waiting or contact Verizon?

    It shouldn't take that long. I posted here with a mcafee per install clean up tool. So try that before calling verizon.

  • Question about Verizon Internet

    I am thinking about using Verizon internet for my laptop at home. I have heard of this thing that you plug into your laptop and you just pay for it and get internet that way. Does anyone know what that's called or what I am talking about, because I can't find anything like that on the Verizon website, and I know it exists because I knew someone that had it.

    Does the term "Dongle" or "3G/LTE Modem" ring a bell by any chance? I believe what you're talking about may relate to mobile Internet that can be reached wherever you can get cell phone service, generally. Check Verizon Wireless or another wireless carrier for these.
    Typically, if you can get Cable or DSL, or heck FiOS for that matter and you're not always on the road and away from home you're better off getting a fixed connection at home and using Wi-Fi rather than replacing what you have now with a mobile internet solution. Internet delivered to your home through a Cable, whether stranded copper, Twisted Pair Copper, Coaxial Copper, or Fiber Optic is often significantly faster and cheaper for what you get, and more consistent. I would suggest going this route if you're going to also be pushing or pulling any significant amount of data from the Internet as mobile data packages are often limited to Gigabytes a month with steep overages.

  • How can I use Messages app on non-Verizon phone?

    Hi. I have two phones: A VZW personal phone and a T-Mobile phone from my employer. I wish to carry only one device when I'm at work (my T-Mobile work phone) but I wish to be able to get texts from my personal VZW number on that phone. I know I can't forward texts, so I installed the Verizon Messages Android app on my work phone, but I can't set it up with my VZW number (I figured it should work because I was able set it up on my tablet at home and it works fine there).
    After I install the app on the non-Verizon phone, I open it and I get a screen asking me if I want to use the app for my default messaging app. If I click no, the app closes without giving me a chance to set it up with my personal account like it did when I installed it on my tablet.
    I also noticed after I installed it, it's called Messages+ instead of Messages. Are they the same thing?

    Hi, has this been resolved? I am in a very similar situation and need the app to work on my new Sprint LG G3 exactly the way it operated on my Sprint iPhone 5S. Here is how it worked on my Sprint iPhone: downloaded the VZ Messages app, followed the prompts to tie it into my work Verizon Galaxy S5 number, and started to receive texts sent to my S5 on my iPhone but in the separate VZ Messages app and not in the native iPhone messages app.
    But when I install the VZ Messages app on my Sprint LG G3, it only asks if I want to "Change default message app? Use Message+ instead of Messaging as your default message application?" That is not what I want so I tap "Cancel" and the app closes. I am not prompted with the opportunity to tie it to my Verizon S5 number like I was on the iPhone. The ability to have the VZ Messages app on my Sprint LG G3 along side the native G3 messaging app, the exact same way it worked on my Sprint iPhone, is very important and the whole reason I switched from AT&T to Verizon for my work phone.

  • Windows Security Suite does not recognize Verizon Internet Security Suite

    well that error message is saying that Windows security center no longer supports the way that the VISS is reporting. Which means that even though VISS is working and it is even reporting its status to WSC. WSC doesnt recognize it anymore. Likely one of the windows updates made the change. I can see the fight comming now. Verizon is going to say. Its working and if the other program doesnt support it, too bad. And windows is going to say the same thing in reverse. My guess would be that it will probably stay that way unless Verizon or Microsoft get enough complaints to make a change in the recognition system.
    But the good news is that VISS is running and protecting you. The WSC just doesnt "speak the same language" anymore and cant understand the message from VISS saying "I'm up and running"
