Customer was told by Best Buy that he should get an AC3200 router to watch 4K

Cuz you need 3.2 Gbps WiFi to stream 25 Mbps?
Even if you watch 4 streams, and dividing the WiFi advertised speed by 2,
that's 1600 Mbps to carry 100 Mbps.

Yeah it was a pain to fix, about 8 hours of downtime. But the cost savings

Duct can be had for 35 cents / foot or less. I was getting it for 28 cents
until the extrusion company went BK.
You can cut and splice duct when going over and under obstacles. If doing
direct burial you would be doing giant figure 8s or cutting and splicing every
time you hit a culvert or
We also usually install a second duct on all major routes.
Chuck, with your long career, I assume that you've had a few cases where
direct burial took a long time/difficulties to fix?
Now working in the long-distance/underground industry, doing all the

The worst part of direct burial is gopher damage. And they will eat it up on
100 places but they may not fail until there is some nearby vibration. They
seem to have the ability to eat up the cable but leave the strands intact or
just break one or two of them.

Depending on many variables, especially if you can plow some non-crossing

Yep strand count is cheap. No reason to scrimp.

I never do direct burial any more. Not even on drops. Generally I install an
extra duct, I like duralines future path products if I can justify the expense.
I need to learn how to install microduct into regular duct. I am sure I can
pull it but I would like to figure out how to blow it.
Steve in our area we could do that "on the cheap" with 12 or 24 count cable
direct buried for around 100k. There are so many variables though. You
really need someone who has done work in that area and is familiar with
permitting costs and requirements. I'd it's so rural that you can plow the
bulk

I try hard to steer clear of direct-burying cable, which is much easier to
damage and extremely time-consuming to repair, unless it's a non-crucial
line (e.g. standard residential customer, although those we currently put
in conduit as well, to keep future risk and repair costs low).

You have to buy direct from Calix.
We upped our plan prices $10 per month for new subs and now give the router

putting the Calix in their home. We're about 60% complete with the process.
It dramatically reduces the number of

Putting some laminate on my splicing trailer surfaces today. This is way
outside my core competencies.
I have been saving the factory edge of the laminate to make myself some edge
banding. But I am out of factory edges and do not know how to cut a perfect
edge strip. I can cut it straight
Assuming you already have the laminate...
To trim to the edge you need a router and a flush trim router bit. You
then apply the laminate with a bit of overhang and trim it flush with the
router.
They make smaller than normal routers for this they specifically call
laminate trimmers. But I've
I have been using a router, but I want the top to overhang the side. So the
side strip needs to be straight if I glue it on after the top. I could do the
edge first, trim it and then do the top but too impatient to wait for the glue
to dry. I would probably do it that way i was starting over
You can get slabs of Corian and it’s wonderful stuff. But probably too pricey
and you’re too far along with the laminate approach.

The other piece of information that wasn’t apparent to me on casual inspection
is there’s a minimum sub count if you want to use their Cloud features. My
take is you need to come at it from the perspective that all your subs are
going to get the Calix router, rather than viewing it as an

Yep.
When you charge for phone service, anything less than perfect becomes
a point where the customer will scream and yell.
