 FDM80 join:2001-07-16 Silver Spring, MD | Definitely under 9 hours East Coast. My install was 2.5 hours, 2 years ago when they were first rolling the fiber out in my area.
Things I did before hand to make things easier: 1) Mounted a piece of wood on the garage wall (cinderblock) so they could mount the internal hardware quickly.
2) Pre-drilled a hole through the brick/cinderblock into the garage (my hole was slightly smaller than required)
3) I knew in my head exactly where the ethernet run would go so I easily pointed out to them what the path of least resistance was.
At the time they were still learning how to do installs, and said I was the fastest install they had done. They had never finished an install before lunch.
Knowing your own house makes it easier for them. |
