      MSGID: 2:221/1.58@fidonet 1398d201       PID: OpenXP/5.0.58 (Win32)       CHRS: ASCII 1       TZUTC: -0400       Anyone here have techinal insights and experience about fibre        installations?              I was scheduled to have a fibre installation the other day.        First, the tech was given the wrong address. After that was        rectified, he told me that he was told that my building "didn't        qualify", even though we could see spare loops of fibre cable        on some nearby poles, *and* there were even two spare ports on        the terminal. My neighbor had a fibre feed to his building, no        problem.              When I asked what "didn't qualify" meant, all he could tell me        was that first there wasn't any "assignment" for my address -        which was later corrected - but something else is behind the        "didn't qualify". As a tech installer, he had no idea what is        behind those classifications. With two spare "unassigned"        ports, that seemed strange to the tech. He was simply told        that they weren't available to use.              --- OpenXP 5.0.58        * Origin: A turtle that surfs the dark web.
