We just bought a new house. Called CenturyTel and ordered Phone and 3mbps DSL. Install was set for 7/26/08.
Why am I writing early? Well...Because we called to get status and someone closed the work order saying it was done on 6/16/08. We drive 1 hour to the house and find that indeed a contractor showed up on 6/16/08 and did the install to the house. He used, are you ready for this, Orange 18 AWG UTP in thin PVC that he ran on top of the ground and tied in a knot to the house and then closed the work order. Even if someone comes behind this guy and uses this cable, I will have tons of trouble. First the run should use 24 AWG Direct Burial cable...I think we can all agree that indoor cable under the ground is a bad idea. Second the signal loss using the wrong cable will cause DSL issues.
So far I'm not impressed with CenturyTel. I'm waiting to hear back from the account folks. I'll keep you posted.
