So I just moved into an older apartment building and had the FiOS technician come out for the installation last Saturday.
He told me that since my building is a little older, he would need to run a fiber cable from a box outside into my apartment. This would require him to drill a few holes to get that cable through my hallway and into my apartment. Unfortunately, my landlord told me that he will not allow the technician to do this.
My question is this: Can the fiber cable be run through the existing cable system in the apartment? I know that if I wanted to get time warner, the apartment is already wired for that. I believe there is some sort of configuration already setup in the basement for the cable system (which the existing cable lines are connected to ) so i wasn't sure if it was possible for the technician to somehow run the new fiber line along the existing cable lines.
Has anyone ever been able to resolve an issue like this? I may be forced to opt for time warner and I am very sad/angry about that. I've been using fios for over 3 years at my previous place so I'm already spoiled by it and not ready to downgrade.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot guys
