Re: Wiring requirement for UVerse? 3 Things:
1) Your drop wire from the phone pole to your house will need replaced. That is non-twisted drop wire, which is no good for U-Verse. A Traditional Phone (I&R) Tech replaces this.
2) You will need a NID, which is where the drop line from the Phone Pole meets your inside wiring. Standard practice is to put it on the outside of the house, but they might go inside where your current phone termination point is (the one you took pictures of in your basement). The Phone (I&R) Tech will install this as well
3) Your inside wiring is all quad, which is no good for U-Verse VDSL, so the U-Verse Prem Tech will need to run a new "home run" cat 5e cable from your NID to your Remote Gateway location.
They will get your going, but those elements from your premise must be upgraded, and AT&T WILL upgrade them as part of the U-Verse Install Process.
Oh and for the record, you are on FTTN for U-Verse. The "Node" is one of the tan boxes in the last picture you posted (the Node is also known as the VRAD -- the other box is your neighborhood Cross-Connect Box, X-Box for short). |
