So I asked my son if they had this netbook thing. Here is his reply -
No, I don't. I *LOVE* Fios, though. We love the TV and the internet both.

We have used our desktop and a separate laptop though. When they install FIOS, they include a free wireless router. That way multiple people can be on the internet at the same time. Drew had his laptop from school upstairs all summer and got his email and stuff up there and it was totally wireless.
