We had FIOS installed a couple weeks ago and since we have 30 days to cancel and switch back to our cable which is still activated how do we plug the cable back in? I looked in my basement where the cable used to come in and it now goes to the FIOS box so I unplugled it and it's a flat-ish wire with an end that cannot be used with a regular coax cable connection

Hmm. Why don't you just call CABLE to get the details about this conversion? I am pretty sure they'd welcome you back. Especially if you had posted a message saying the switch to FIOS wasn't "good" for you.
Anyway ... hope you find the answer(s) you are seeking.
I wish FIOS was in MY area. Competition is always good!
Wow- we switched to FIOS about 2 or 3 years ago and have been nothing but delighted. I am sure you have your reasons for switching back to cable, but this is the first time I have heard of someone preferring cable. live and learn.

Why in God's name would you ever switch from FIOS to cable? The difference is like cars and horses...
Yeah looks like we're going to stick with FIOS afterall. One thing I liked a little better with Comcast was the free movies + shows which although FIOS offers free viewing they do differ a bit.
I switched to fios 4 months ago coming from comcast and i am extremely disappointed that verizon still doesn't have MSG HD. Both comcast and verizon have their issues but i just don't see how verizon fios is so much better than comcast cable. With fios my internet speeds are the same, i lost msg hd and didn't gain any worth while channels. As far as wifi hotspots i prefer comcast method over verizon since i don't need to install a client to connect, plus in my experience ive come across many more comcast xfinity hotspots than verizon hotspots.
if comcast just gave me a better deal on another box i would have never switched. I was just trying to get a better deal and threatened to cancel. Well I followed through my cancelation, I sure showed comcast. I now pay more for $$ for Verizon services and suffer with no MSG HD.
Oh and what really made me furious is that Verizon did a hard credit pull even after i asked the rep many times if it was going to be a hard pull and she said not to her knowledge. I even refused to give my SS#. They conferenced me over to another department where another rep asked me some questions for "verification". Well this was just another way to pull your credit without an SS#. It showed up on experian only. at least my credit is excellent so Verizon offered me additional 10 month credit for the term of contract, but still i soft pull should have been sufficient.
