I have had a few hits on  cable modems and so far only the modem has
taken the hit and not the panel but i still keep the extra surge in
just in case. as far as Verizon  FIOS  its fiber optic coming into
home so no surge possible on fiber cable
but you could still get hit thru the interface so I surge protect it
also. The biggest problem of course always is the asshole bozos cable
techs  who do not understand how a RJ31x works.
