We're still on copper line feed here for internet. Got a call today from ATT saying copper is phasing out and offering cut over to fiber optic. They've been pestering me to do this for many months/years now-via email and snail mail.
It was inevitable. Kept putting it off until now. Bit the bullet and agreed to a cut over next Monday. Terminal box is already buried in the back yard. Our property sits astride a utility easement. Should be a no-brainer. More cabling run in the attic. It's like a spiders web up there already. Oh, well.
Copper feed for me has always been dead reliable. Throw-back to the 1960s I guess. Hopefully, fingers crossed, this cut over goes seamlessly. If not, Sharon will kill me. She has a book launch for her latest novel scheduled to the 29th. Had I known. . .failure to communicate. On me. My bad. Of course, that won't help if this goes south. Guilty.
Bill goes down $3 a month and we get a $50 gift card. No install or modem charges. A dream come true. But then, lurking in the back of my head is, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. . . "
Anyway, FYI for those out there still on wire feed. Cheers. Arnold
