Fios is finally available in my neighborhood. (Can you say 20/5 internet?) The installation is scheduled for Monday.
After carefully examining the options, we decided to go with a Tivo rather than the Motorola boxes rented by Verizon. Our Tivo arrived yesterday. And it's dead. (It started up fine, but it barfed halfway through the setup process and refused to boot up again.)
The new one will not be here till Monday. This means we may have to reschedule the installation. "Oh, boo hoo, Steve has to wait for the new stuff." In the grand scheme of things, it's completely trivial. But on a more mundane level, I'd already made arrangements to be off from work Monday, and changing things on such short notice would be challenging.
(The delivery itself is annoying. The first unit was ordered on Monday, shipped on Tuesday from Harrisburg, PA, and arrived on Wednesday. The replacement was ordered on Wednesday and shipped on Thursday--from Indianapolis!! If it had come from Harrisburg like the first one, we'd have it tomorro.)
