Stephen,
I believe that FiOS provides you a fiber connection back to the Verizon
office so that any use of Internet services by your neighbors would have no
effect on your use. (Correct me if I'm wrong!). The problem could be
caused by congestion back at the Verizon office; hasn't been affecting my
use of Zoom (i.e., my students don't complain, or at least complain about
that :)
This Wednesday please let me know using the Chat window during the meeting
or via email after the meeting if you are having any latency issues.
Thanks,
-steve
