[Embarq] VDSL should be coming soon...

I saw a couple vehicles parked next to the RT near my house today. I noticed a box with the Calix logo sitting on the tailgate of a pickup there. I stopped and talked to the guys for a couple minutes. They confirmed they were installing VDSL equipment. Since they were contractors, and not CL employees, I didn't want to delay them asking for details. They did say that they were doing upgrades all over the valley, and getting 45-50mb speeds during testing of the equipment.

I was told about six weeks ago that the upgrade should be done by the end of March. Now I'll just be waiting for the equipment to be activated for use.

How large was the Calix box? Just a card or an entirely new chassis?

C7 possibly?

The box I saw was about half the width of the tailgate. They were on the back side with the doors open. There wasn't enough room between the doors and the brick wall to get around and see what they were doing. He said that they were working on removing some old equipment so there would be room for what they were installing today.
