 | kaboom..more fees....thanks AT&T. i live in the area where the VRAD exploded and it is in a high traffic area of Wauwatosa, a suburb of Milwaukee. It is arrogance on AT&T's part to put these boxes so close to residences. Common sense is something they don't have when it comes to installing equipment.
Best thing to do if your service was down that day due to this is to contact them and ask for a credit on your bill since you were without your service for that period of time. They will fight you tooth and nail, but if you were in that area where the DSLAM was affected it is your right to ask for it. |

This is true...BUT, it's also childish to think it arrogant to place such things IN THE UTILITY EASEMENT. Where else would they put them ? Negotiate individual leases with property owners for every box ??
Now, just maybe if the home builders or subdivision developers didn't jam houses up against said easements, there would be more room. -- 3500/512 5.7 GHz Motorola Canopy Wireless; FoxValley.net "Peace through superior firepower" |

 | reply to g4brokemke Cabinets (RT) have been around since 1987,(retired now) in my 40 years with ATT, 20 dealing directly with cabinets, I have never seen a cabinet explode. Clearly this is a case of thermal runaway related to this avestor battery. I would like to know if these installations used thermal probes? |
