- KGIII 9y agoAbout $36,000 and I am about seven miles from where they installed some new equipment in a large box on a pad. I don't actually know what is in the box. I think it might be called a DSLAM?
- toomuchtodo 9y agoCorrect. That's the DSLAM (most likely with fiver backhaul to the central office).
- KGIII 9y agoI believe I only paid for the equipment and Fairpoint paid the installation expenses. This was about nine years ago and I didn't pay as much attention to it as I should. I was pretty occupied. There are only six residencies in my unincorporated township. All but one have DSL, now. The one that doesn't have it, doesn't want it. They live beyond where the power and phone lines stop, anyhow. Anyhow, they are all pretty happy and grateful. As I was moving into the area, this was a good ice breaker. I'd say that I definitely got good value for the money. I get ~12 Mbps down. More importantly, a neighbor brought me some Piccadilly, just today. Worth every penny.
