Re: If no connect to RT, how would SBC wire me in? said by packed2:
1) Can I get a connection to RT # PCFCCACU.
2) How can SBC prequal me now if the RT I'm slated for isn't online until 2007 (does this imply they would wire me to RT PCFCCACU? If not PCFCCACU, would they wire me to the CO?)
3) If they can't wire me to RT PCFCCACU, why was my original prequal (done on 1/2003) contingent on the upgrade of RT # PCFCCACU (done on 11/2002)?
1) No, they cannot re-route your existing POTS through another RT.
2) You have DSL service available from the CO. That's how you have DSL now. The "pre-qual" is a "yes/no" answer. The offer you received I'm sure was through the CO. If you ordered new service, I'm very confident it would be wired back to the CO.
3) It is possible that the upgrade in the CO that enabled you to get your service coincided with the availability in the RT. Stranger things have happened.
The pre-qual is an estimate based on records. It has only a 70% accuracy (IMHO). Orders are canceled by ASI (and Telco) all the time because the records from pre-qual were inaccurate, and the line/design won't support the service.

| Well, it took awhile, but this answers my questions.
Thank you very much.
Guess it's Comcast cable until 2007. |

said by packed2:
...THEN WHY DO I QUALIFY FOR A NEW DSL ACCOUNT AT SBC's WEBSITE???...
That prequal on the web site is almost bogus. It seems to say a yes/no as to whether or not you can have DSL and that is based only upon a lookup table that has distance data in it from who knows where. When I signed up for SBC DSL, all they would sell me was the slow package up to 384K.
A separate lookup tool said I was 16.5K ft distance while the SBC prequal said I could get the highest speed DSL available 1.5M at the time. An actual TDR measurement (from ASI I'm guessing) revealed I am more like 20k and am lucky to have 384K.
So I beleive the laypersons way to interface into the system is to contact the EPC (Emerging Product Center) of SBC and they can access (or ask ASI to) or run the tests so that you will know for sure. Although, you might have to pull it out of them since they don't offer the distance information or RT / CO names freely. |

2 MONTHS of BS from Sonic;

ASI from this thread saying I can't get routed to the RT,
while the local ASI guys (according to Sonic) said I could be,
but there wasn't room.

I've had cable for a week, it's GREAT!!
