Two FIOS questions



While the topic of FIOS is in mind :^), I have a question that I can't seem
to get a good answer to over the phone--

Has anyone had the all-in-one ONT installed?

My location will not allow a split-system where the ONT is outside and
BBU/PS are inside (I don't have access to the basement or first floor
interior areas), however my location would work very well for the all-in-one
indoor install as I have a mounting location (with 110V power) in the attic
on the opposite side of the exterior wall where my overhead utilities
already connect to the side house.

As I understand it using the interior ONT requires a 1" hole cut to pass the
connector of a terminated fiber line into the house, the line itself is of
course much smaller in diameter--how does Verizon seal the the hole around
the cable?  I'm hoping they have some sort of a pre-made solution that seals
everything nicely using a plastic ring or something similar that is already
in place on the cable.

Thanks,
Ethan
