A friend of mine has FiOS, up in Maryland.  A year or so ago I visited him
and the FiOS box in the garage was flashing a red light saying the battery
needed replacing, which I pointed out to him.  Last week I visited again, and
the light is still flashing and the battery has not been changed.

If you don't do scheduled maintenance, things break.
