Here we are, one year later.
It's funny, I once read in the minimum equipment standards for Verizon Wireless that IPv4 support was optional in their handset standards after 2008. There seems to be someone in the corporate structure who knows how to provision IPv6. I hope they consider moving a few of those network engineering folks from VZW over to the FiOS side of the house soon.
Dang. Well, maybe Verizon will chime in here. Thank you, Cherokee commander.
Thanks, pa28pilot! That's consistent with what I've come up with after doing a lot of research and reading to try to educate myself.
This is a problem at least in that the volume and frequency of the DNS server error messages make it near impossible to find any other, possibly significant, error messages: needle in a haystack effect.
Recently, for no reason apparent to me, the file-not-found messages stopped, and the following kinds of messages are appearing over and over in the system log:
Feb 17 21:29:15 2016 named[1251] err<139> zone localrp/IN/internal-clients: zone serial (2008122601) unchanged. zone may fail to transfer to slaves.
Feb 17 21:29:15 2016 named[1251] err<139> zone fios-router.home/IN/internal-clients: zone serial (2008122601) unchanged. zone may fail to transfer to slaves.
Feb 17 21:29:15 2016 named[1251] err<139> zone FIOS_Quantum_Gateway/IN/internal-clients: zone serial (2008122601) unchanged. zone may fail to transfer to slaves.
Feb 17 21:29:15 2016 named[1251] err<139> zone 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa/IN/internal-clients: zone serial (2008122601) unchanged. zone may fail to transfer to slaves.
If I did want to stop the DNS server errors, the only thing I can think to do would be to use SSH to log in to the router and disable the named (BIND9) service. Does that make any sense, or is it better to just ignore the errors?
So the only thing that stops is the moca activity light on ont?
yes thats correct, The rest of the lights stay green.
FIOS will implement when they need more addresses or the government forces them to.
99.9% of FIOS users don't care and won't benefit from IPV6.
Verizon will never chime in.
I have FIOS and I am in an MDU set up that uses VDSL from the equipment closet back to each unit. On Tuesday afternoon, internet goes down. I check the vdsl model and the light just kept flashing like it can't connect to the ont or something. Sometime later, tv goes out as well. VZ website mentions something about power issue. I call VZ and spoke to helpful Tier 1 ( i am guessing ) person. Ended up waiting for 20 minutes (no fault of hers) to get through to some dispatch to send someone out. They can't do Wednesay...ok fine. So appt set for Thursday sometime between 8 and 5 pm (?!).
Anyways, while at work I am getting these robocalls from VZ asking me if the problem was resolved and if I still need the tech visit. That made no sense to me. I got several of those. I get home and power on the model then router and internet is working again. Tv is working again.
I did not cancel the tech visit because I wanted to know if there was a problem with ONT or what. Got the property manager to come and unlock the equipment closet yesterday and eveyrhting. Just now, some VZ person calls me and says we can't come out today. Wasted a whole day of work for nothing. Unbelievable. I asked for a supervisor and I am still waiting for a call back.
Questions:
1. What problem could it be that allowed VZ to possibly fix it remotely? I don't even know if they in fact fixed anything because their "repair status" feature on their site is pretty useless.
2. Could this be a sign of an ONT problem? I've had VZ for many years and have never had a problem that caused Tv to go out as well. The only other problem I had was due to equipment failure.
I was given the number for expert service to inquire if glibc is deployed, but I'm not certain it's worth the time.
I've been having DNS problems the last couple of days - some Web sites (like Wikipedia) come right up, and others, like our kids' school district Web site, and a homework site (thinkthroughmath.com) time out.
Are there known problems with DNS currently in North Texas?
By the way, Verizon's Web site SUCKS. I went to sign up to post in these forums, and had to wait *four hours* for a verification email. And even then, it was tied back to my regular Verizon sign on, NOT the userid I wanted to use on the forums. Verizon couldn't be more screwed up if they were an agency of the Federal government.
Welcome to the Frontier.
Hi sparkinstx,
We have sent you a Private Message. Please check your Private Message Inbox at the top right corner of this page. It should look like this -->> 
Can't use the RDP type products to solve this problem. I have a CONTROL4 home automation solution and in order for me to use the iOS app, I have to be able to connect remotely to my home network. VPN has always worked for me very well, stable and easy. Until the Feb 5 update. Now I'm completely hosed.
And after speaking with Verizon engineering, they readily admit they've included the payload on the Feb 5 Firmware to stop INBOUND VPN. So I asked for the release notes on the firmware upgrade and they said they don't produce or disclose that information.
So if I buy a commercial product, linksys, netgear, etc, they all release firmware updates with release notes. Verizon does not, and so you NEVER know what you're getting with VZ. Looks like I'm going to have to go third party router!
I'll take the trade offs and limitations because doing business with VZ like this is simply a gamble I can't afford to take. My ISP suddenly determines what's best for me? I wonder what backdooring they've also created to spy on my traffic?
My AOL acount got set up OK. I can access it from mail.aol.com. How do I configure Windows Live Mail 2011 to access the AOL incomming server? I get a 'wrong password' error. I set it up for IMAP with all the correct server names and port numbers.
I also failed to get THUNDERBIRD to access my AOL mail.
I know this is not answering your question, but can you tell me why you still use AOL?
Is that just a convenience choice or is there some other advantage that i dont know of?
I suggest gmail.com
Because in the soon to be Frontier area, Verizon is moving customers to AOL mail servers.
For the OP:
Read this to see if it helps.

I use Windows Live Mail. I didn't change a thing on either account I have migrated other than the password for one account, and that was because I had not logged into webmail for that account (ever I think) and I was required to changed the password in Verizon BEFORE I could take the link to AOL for the migration. So the server names, ports, SSL, etc. are all exactly as they were when using the Verizon servers.
Hope that will work for you.

Hi,
Is there a way to send an email to verizon customer support and get response back? I was able to send email (via filling out a web form) and then receive/reply via email with them. It was very helpful to resolve issues that can wait a few days instead of waiting 10s of mins over hold music on phone or chat connection. I could not find an option to contact verizon customer service (especially the billing department) over email. Thank you!
Beer please continue to post your upload/download speed issues, as many loyal Verizon customers all over the U.S.A. are stuck with this same kind of shabby, third rate service on a regular basis. We have no legal recourse against Verizon, they are fully protected by state and federal law from being held responsible for the contracted service we as consumers are obligated to pay for.
For 5 weeks now, this is my standard bandwidth Verizon gives to me from 7 PM to 12 AM (midnight):
