I'm looking to order elite dsl in the near future and had a couple of questions regarding installation. It will be at a new residence which I am going to be moving in soon and I recently took a look and there was no NID box or anything in the house, so I went ahead and placed a new line installation from AT&T for a landline. I assume they will install a NID box or something similar.
Now, I am not familiar at all with how equipment/wiring works for phone/dsl/etc, but many years ago, at my current residence, I remember a tech from AT&T coming out to do some maintenance on my dsl line and in the process he installed a NID box as well as a smaller box (POTS splitter I think, it does have DSL marked on the front of it). I don't think they will put one of these in place when they install my new landline since I'm not ordering dsl service from them.
I guess my overall question is, what kind of work needs to be done on AT&T's end/my own end to ensure that when I order sonic's dsl service, that I could be up and running on the same day that the sonic install happens? Is the sonic install a self-installation or will a tech come out to do the install?
