GIGABYTE G1 Assassin Physical Review*** In depth!

[paul_]

LOL so I have fiber optic internet(yea fiber-optic through copper, they dug up my neighborhood LOL) from Verizon FIOS, i pay for the lowest package, 3mb/s up and 15mb/s down, bigfoot NIC got my speeds right, but the stupid router/modem combo verizon gave me only supports 100mb/s or 10mb/s LOL so i am digging for an older router with 1000mb/s LOL.

FiOS sucks that way - make sure they wired you with a cat5e cable going from your ONT to your router area... the coax connection sucks. I know, I'm running on it

You can run your own router for internet if you have the cat5e set up, but if you also have FiOS TV, you'll need to piggyback your FiOS router onto the main router (and the coax connection), as it controls the guide/on demand/etc on the TV. Crappy design? Yes. Slow connection? Nope

I also loved your review. I've used up at least 3 tissues since I opened the article, I've been salivating so much

I hope they come out with a Sandy Bridge equivalent to this... it would be an incredible thing to have for a build I have coming up in May.


I want to correct your grammar... but I want to correct EVERYONE's grammar, so no worries. Excellent write-up.


EDIT: Here's an extremely in-depth, easy-to-understand write-up of the ways that you can configure the FiOS router. This helped me set ours up properly. http://www.dslreports.com/faq/verizo...tworking#16077
