More often than not, the ISP wants *you* to do it. The carrier is always responsible for issues up to and including the DMARCation point (Smart Jack). They *do not* want to be responsible for in-house wiring/issues as you extend the DMARC to your equipment (hence the reason they charge so much to run it for you). It's easier for the ISP to just guarantee trouble-free service to the DMARC - beyond that it's in your hands. Not to mention the "rat's nest" of wires a lot of ISPs would run into if they required the LEC to run the extension in your building. There'd just be too much finger pointing.

I suppose if there were any wiring to be done, they'd be the ones to do it. So far, I've been lucky and haven't had to do much. I will say that when we upgraded our PBX recently to an IP-capable system, that the vendor ran the wires from the PBX back to the IP switch, but they were the only vendors to do that. When I worked for an ISP a few years back, whenever we ordered a dedicated T1 for a customer, the LEC would run a cable from the pole to our DMARC and we'd handle it from there. From: Sam Cayze [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, May 04, 2009 4:29 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: DMARC to Office Install Is it normal practice of the ISP to have the customer hire and pay for a 3-party technician to run a feed from the DMARC (basement) to our office/rack area? Never seen it before with the few ISPs I have worked with... Just checking... -Sam No virus found in this incoming message.
