Voice services provided on the Verizon FiOS network will use the existing copper wiring inside your home. Verizon FiOS Internet Service requires CAT5 or higher grade wiring. If you don’ t have CAT5 or higher grade wiring installed in your home, our technicians will provide that wiring on the day of installation. We do not fish walls, however. You may hire someone to wire your home prior to our installation visit if you wish. Our technicians will verify the wiring you have meets our standards on the day of installation. CAT5 wiring is only needed to connect the computers you will be hooking up via a wired port on your router. We recommend at least one computer is wired, and the installation process will require us to connect the primary computer via a wired connection. Those computers you will be connecting wirelessly do not require CAT5 wiring.
