Does Verizon carry routers or modems yet?

[crisiskids]

Hello, can someone tell me when Verizon is going to start carrying cable modems and routers in accessories. Personally, I cannot get Verizon home services, therefore I have to rely on cable internet and it would be nice if Verizon would carry a few select cable modems/routers.  Or am I missing them online?

That's Verizon Fios www.verizon.com not Verizon Wireless. Two different companies.

Hi Ann and thank you.  Unfortunately FIOS is not available in Kansas yet.  I just thought you might be able to purchase home/cable modem/routers elsewhere within the Verizon family somewhere.  Thanks for answering my question - I marked it as "correct answer".  Peace and best to you.

Why would you purchase a Verizon router in the first place especially if they don't offer service in your area? Out of the two landline internet service I have had since I moved into my current home, only the modem for one had to be purchased from the provider. I purchased my last two routers elsewhere and the cable modem I'm currently using was purchased elsewhere. You are not required to purchase the connection equipment if compatible devices are available.
