It's quite amazing, I think... that it's taken so long to get to deployment
you can actually see on the fios plant :)
I'd note I can't see the below on my homestead, but I can at a relative's
(where the ifconfig data is from).

I also can't tell if the upstream will PD a block to the downstream... and
the VZ CPE is 'not something I want to fiddle with',
because everytime I have tried at my house I've just taken it out behind
the woodshed with a maul... and replaced it with
something I CAN configure successfully. (plus.. don't want that TR 069 in
my home...)
