The "loop" which measures the distance from the VRAD isn't a straight line, the VRAD could be in the shadow of your house but you could be too far from the VRAD because the "loop" loops around the neighborhood and your house could be at the end of the "loop". Question does your neighbor have an INID mounted on the side of their house? An INID makes it possible so people 3,000-about 4,200 feet from the VRAD can get U-Verse with a different drop. An example of an INID is in the pic on the right.
