Hi,
I just moved into a house in South Chandler and when Cox configured my Internet
and phone, they had to setup a temp connection. This consists of a coax
running through my back yard down the side of my house and into the junction
box. Funny thing is the box that services the 5 housed in my cluster is all of
2 feet from the junction box into my house.
I'm not making this up. When Cox engineered this sub-division they made a
mistake and put in a 4 node connection. The tech that came out to followup
told me they could not add me to that box.
They have to connect me to the box that serves another set of houses. This
requires running a conduit about 18 inches underground along the sidewalk (from
behind my house) and under my driveway to the junction box on the other side of
my house. I was told it would take around 6 weeks to get the permit to do so.
It is unclear how much longer it will take after that. I was told they are
putting a rush on this project.
I work out of my house and would like to find an additional solution. I like
Cox. I've had cox service for maybe 6 years now. I had been with Qwest and
had DSL for a while. Liked them also.
I'm thinking that maybe I'll try qwest or look at that as a backup plan.
I'm wondering about what DSL routers are being used and the quality. When I
had DLS last I had a Cisco rounter that would overheat. I had little problem
with mine. The Cisco was nice in that it was programmable. Then I had an
ActionTec (sp) , however that would not allow for port forwarding even though
it was a feature.
Looks like DSL speed is way up. Any input or suggestions on Qwest DSL?
Thanks in advance!
Keith
