Wireless Internet folks: HELP!

Bare with my stupidity here: How does this work? Does Verizon have to come out and install something, or do I buy my own router and they just turn something on? Can someone who's set something like this up let me know what you've gone through? Customer Service is unhelpful if you're just asking questions. It's like, sign up or eat shit. No in between. And right now I'm just sort of researching options. So. Any advice??

Comcast told us it was 180 for them to come out and set it up for us, and then another 45 a month on top of what we already pay them for high speed. So, technically, we can just do all that ourselves and not even tell them??? I'm so confused!

I'd say that falls into Uber expensive area. Get the router and do it yourself. We had the choice to have them do it or not. We told them just to set the cable and showed them where it was located.

I am going to attempt it myself then. Hopefully, J and I won't kill each other in the process of setting it up :)
