And do they consider things like infrastructure improvements as devaluing? Maybe this points to where the average citizen in this country places their priorities....and it doesn't appear to be on broadband or IPTV. said by krom :
(Am I crazy/alone in considering a DSLAM or cell tower in a neighborhood to be a plus?) I'm all for a DSLAM in my neighborhood as longs as it's placed in an aesthetically manner and not within 3 lots to either side of my property. I most definitely do not want any tower within a couple of miles of my lot. Doesn't matter, the VAST majority of Fairfield county homes (not sure other counties) are served aerially. AT&T puts pole mounted VRADs, which never touch the ground. Sometimes AT&T will build a 2nd pole across the street, and put a VRAD on that and have a trunk cable go over the street aerially back to the other side of the street to the existing trunk line. Even in new developments, they will be fed by the pole, and at the entrance to the cul de sac where the pole services go underground, there will be a pole mounted VRAD. For developments too big/too long to reach by pole mounted VRAD, AT&T can easily skip them. Fairfield county is pretty old, so is very rare except for artery roads (which don't have houses anyways, AT&T does not build VRAD to businesses) to have underground delivery. This ruling means nothing for AT&T except in very large less 20 year old developments which don't exist in Fairfield county. |

| many AT$T areas lines are underground. Specially in Ameritech areas. Before the SBC merger/buyout Ameritech went around putting everything underground so it only leave AT$T one thing- put the boxes on the ground. |

Oh, you can always splice in new cable and put the VRAD on a pole, even if the rest of the cable is underground. They have the pedestals pole mounted to keep them from being flooded in several places around here.

It's wierdo, not weirdo. Yes, I know that's not the 'proper' spelling of the similar english language word.  |
