| whatever I'm sure I'll be flammed for this, but oh well.
Yes, I see the irony with Comcast running ads about the VRADs, but look at all of you people who want the latest and greatest technology and internet speeds, but have a huge fit when you have to look at the equipment associated with it.
Sure, some cities would look a lot better with no utility poles and lines.... but oh that's right, we want the service.
You people who claim that you'd do this or that to have one of these unsightly boxes removed, buried, changed, or disguised in some way are the same people who will be complaining when a service person can no longer access these pedistals and pieces of equipment and your service is not working or intermittent.
It's no different than if I go to a house for a service call and the customer states that I'm the fifth person out and the problem still isn't fixed...yada yada... and it's clear to me why the problem hasn't been fixed... you live in filth, your house stinks, there's trash everywhere... of course your problem hasn't been fixed, you've made it extremely inconvenient and a human service person might do whatever to get out of that situation, whether it's the right thing to do or not.
If you want fast internet and all this technology... these things just have to exist for now. |

you hit the nail on the head right there. Same people that complain about new cell towers have a cell phone in their pocket and yell for no dropped calls and better coverage. Those who complain about being out for extended periods want all access points removed so the service person has no where to start except and the customers house and has to start digging up the ground. |

FiOS doesn't need any huge boxes/cooling.............. why should I support service (Re-Verse, Comcast) providers who put ugly boxes on my lawn when other companies are dropping the cash and investing in FTTH tech that is SO MUCH less of an eyesore? Sure, I can live with big boxes on my property, but only if I want the service/subscribe to it. Alse, the property owner who's getting the box on their yard should at the least get some re-compensation, or a few year's worth of free service. |
