Coming to you live from a brand new connection
Well it is done. It went a lot smoother than I expected, due to some fairly professional installers who deemed my advice worthy of their time. Thank heaven for that. This post is hitting the site via my brand spanking new 15 megabit UTOPIA fiber to the premises connection. And when they say FTTP they really mean it. The fiber comes right through my kitchen wall and into a CPE that is screwed to the wall. From that thing a piece of CAT5 goes back out through the wall, over the door and window and through the wall again into my computer. The only unfortunate wiring they did was the connection for the phone, which goes all the way from the CPE to the other end of the building and into Qwest’s wiring. If I had thought they’d be so speedy with the wiring I would have told them on the phone that I had a wiring block in a closet in the apartment and they could use that for the phone service. Oh well. They showed up at about 2:30pm and were done by about 4:15. Not bad at all. Now to test out the speed a bit. I’ll report back on that and have some pictures and more details later.
