CO isn't buying home service because they aren't installing it in a home. Give Fios a call and give them DCA as your "home" address and ask what they'll charge.

It is pre-n, not n. And it is absolutely still possible to purchase g routers.
Plus my previous points still stand. The uplink to the internet is generally smaller than the 54mbit nominal speed that the g routers can support.
What is the upside in your view to going to a pre-n system, other than that they can use the new name? In other words, are there any practical benefits to either CO or passengers that you see from such a move?
