I’d be happy to give it a look. Where are you located?
I'm @ 1129 Oxford St. The drop the technician was working on was @ 1198 Oxford St. The fiber tap was (approximately) across from 1188 Oxford St.
Thanks - much appreciated.

Curious if there's any more information here - thanks.aanon4 wrote:I'm @ 1129 Oxford St. The drop the technician was working on was @ 1198 Oxford St. The fiber tap was (approximately) across from 1188 Oxford St.

The home at the corner at 1198 Oxford is served as part of the Fiber Distribution Area (FDA) which is to the West, FDA 29A. Your home is part of FDA 30, which isn't yet fully complete and activated.

Thanks for this ... however ... I am still curious why your engineer in my street said the fiber was active across from my house? I assume he'd know - after all, he was up a pole messing with it. Also, the tap on your fiber clearly comes from the across the road from 1188 which is in FDA30 (and is where your guys with the cherry-picker were working) ... but this zone isn't active?dane wrote:The home at the corner at 1198 Oxford is served as part of the Fiber Distribution Area (FDA) which is to the West, FDA 29A.

Your street carries a 288 strand backbone cable that goes to the Albany central office, in addition to the 96 fiber distribution cable that serves the homes on the street. The former is in service, while the latter is pending completion of your fiber distribution area - that'd likely be splicing and testing at the local convergence point cabinet.aanon4 wrote: Thanks for this ... however ...

So ... reading between the lines a little here ... I'm guessing the fiber passing my house is live but because the rest of my zone is incomplete in some way, you aren't selling access to it yet? Well you have people wiring up a cage at the other end of my block today, so I can hope it's the last bit.
