Re: Published data
If that happened, there was something very very wrong with the installation.
Cable can have installation problems to. What you mention aren't satellite problems, they're bad installer problems.
My mother had the first E-MTA destoryed when she first switched to cable - the uneducated installer plugged it in backwards to a still-live phone line without disconnecting the phone line first. The phone rang, the E-MTA fried. Getting it replaced (the installer had gone already) was tough too, since if you unplugged it it worked for a minute (the line like seized off-hook so it'd work when first plugged in until the line went dead from being off hook so long); so they kept asking her to just restart it. Never mind that you couldn't call in and had to restart it before making a phone call... |
