| I would stop and read the sign, but what it's saying is that AT&T is upgrading lines in your neighborhood in order to provide an alternative to traditional cable tv. Don't bother asking when this will take place, as it could be anytime in the next 2 or 3 years if you're lucky. |

Just remember to stay out of the box . It is a felony to get in the equipment for any reason . When you are walking around the box you are tresspassing. Don't get arrested for your curiosity . They are upgrading the data. Telephone service is already as good as it can get. If you see a local tech he will probably be able to fill you in . |

| If the box is open it's fair game. Obviously don't open it -- even if there is no lock.
Yes you are trespassing if there is a fence around it but anything you can see from the street is fair game.

On whose property? The VRADs I have seen are in the strip between the curb and the sidewalk. I am not sure even I can keep people off of the grass in that area in front of my house.

looks like the first. but there not new boxes they've been there since we been here (since the neighborhood has anyway). We lived in a Bell South area and only two miles from where they keep there trucks, and what not at a building. I'll see if i can't find out today before work and take a picture of the box |

OK - the sign is an upgrade to u-verse. Do you see the wooden beams around the equipment ? That is the beginning of the property line . After the lines are conditioned it will take another month to get the vrad setup . 10 meg to start -faster speeds later. |

Just don't expect U-verse in Powdersville within the next month or so.  |

/dev/null | I'm thinking it takes at least 6months from the time they put up everything to the time you can order Uverse.

Here | Depends. There are some areas that will have everything wired and set and you won't see Uverse for months while others will be weeks. |

Right- the whole city/county has to be ready before it is offered. AT&T cant offer a service in an area until everybody can get it .Just because the equipment is in does not mean it is ready to work. |

That's not true. Service is offered when it's ready and supportable...nothing else. |

They have been offering Uverse in San José, California, since before the VRADs were installed in my neighborhood.
