Getting U-Verse internet, voice, TV next week. 18MBS is as fast as we can get and it appears the VRAD is about .8 mile at the entrance of the neighborhood. (I cannot find another one)
We tried to get it about 5-6 years ago and they could not get a good enough signal to the house, but they have done a lot of work in the neighborhood and the neighbor has U-Verse I am pretty sure. (we will come off the same post at the road) I also think they replaced the line to the neighbors house. I'm fairly sure there isn't fiber in the box (looks like the same enclosure that has always been there)
I tried to get them to have the tech call a few days out so I could discuss it, but they won't do that.
So with that in mind what can I expect as far as equipment? Currently the Bellsouth DSL modem is upstairs connected to an AirPort Time Capsule which networks a fax/printer and a couple of computers. Any chance I den get the tech to run cat 5 up there?
Also the alarm ties in to the network interface at the back of the garage, the alarm company says "sometimes U-Verse works, sometimes not" but can't provide any tips for moving myself to the "works" side of the fence.
Any tips on what to expect currently? The last time we never got to the U-Verse installer, the Bellsouth tech came the day before (they did not mention that happening this time).
