3 edits | Spoiled residents whining over nothing
Want to see a view of the neighborhood where the residents are complaining?

The green rectangular boxes, about 1 foot or 2 feet high and 2 feet long, are being installed on the strips of ground between the street and sidewalk.
University Drive resident Bernie Goldberg(pic below), who gave a lengthy presentation on his objections to the boxes at a recent township supervisors meeting. “They look like trash cans sitting out in front of your house permanently.” 
Their houses are so far from the street they would never even see these small boxes. Just some people with very little problems to deal with looking for something to complain about. I know the area well(my sister lives a couple blocks away) and you would never even notice these boxes if you stood 5 feet from them. The landscaping blocks them from view. -- My BLOG .. ..

2 edits | reply to jerryjam please let us in on how you climate control 24"-24" vault. . maybe by putting a central ac unit above it? the climate controlled vaults are usually around a 8 to 10 feet concrete vault. you dont really suggest putting that in front of everyones house do you? |

| reply to TKJunkMail Verizon and Comcast should do something on streets that bitch about boxes of any size. dont wire them for ANY advanced services. just provide the basics. the agreements with the towns dont say a street must have full Digital services from Comcast and fios or even DSL from verizon. -- [65 Arcanist]Filan(High Elf) Zone: Broadband Reports |

It meant faster service than the slow limited DSL service in my neighborhood. -- My BLOG .. .. Internet News .. .. My Web Page Ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk? |

If you dig deep enough underground you will pretty much encounter the same temperature year round. Once you go a few feet underground the temperature will remain in the 50's or 60's year round. |

The landscaping blocks them from view. This is the same city about to sell it's sewer system, to a private company, because according to their anal-isys of the proposal it will be cheaper for the next 5 years (with a BIG bump at the end) i suppose the next effort will be to outlaw those ugly manholes. what a bunch of nimby's |

I hope thats sarcasm.
I think what the guy was referring to was some hubsites that are somewhat climate controlled. Sealed vaults that need to be purged before you can even go in them because of gases. Those however are not the vaults that anyone is speaking of. -- CableTechs.org/"Horrible People with Integrity" |

4 edits | said by rahvin112 :Anything installed below frost depth will maintain a constant temperature Actually, you need to go down around 30' to get to the constant temperature zone in most parts of the US. At 8-12 feet you reach an area that will be warmer or colder 6 months out of phase with the weather i.e summer warmth wiill reach and effect that level around january. this is convienent from ground looped (earth coupled) heat pumps, but not so good for easy acessible cable connections. and then comes ground water problems, cable guys shouldn't need scuba gear  Deep burial is impractical for most residental applications |
