I have no idea how a modem the internet or any wireless thing works.

(although if it counts for anything i make Minecraft servers without static Ips.)
But for my games lately I've been getting 100+ ping and that's on my best servers
(Arma 2 and Rome Total War)

My Verizon A90-750015- 75 thingy modem is trying to support eight devices. (all apples except my PC which connected via wireless, and my modem is DSL.)
Any ways I really need a new one for 60-120$ so it can handle all these devices with good ms. Also a tutorial on how to setup a modem would really help. My Youtube is only showing me videos it thinks I'd like to see. Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, FiOS uses proprietary (not purchasable) routers and TV boxes. The will be provided to you at install and they carry a monthly fee. I think they are still running the 2 year contracts for TV, phone and internet for $79.99. Each HD TV box is around $15/month and the router is probably free. If you have Verizon Wireless, you can combine the bills between wireless and FiOs and they give you a $10 discount. It's the best deal I've found.
