I'm a happy sonic net fusion user and my son is switching over. In his apartment, the phone jack is near the front door and the closest electrical outlet is all the way across the main living area. With his dry loop service, we had to run a very long phone cord across the ceiling and down to his modem. With the new sonic service, does an installer come out? Will they be able to move the phone jack so it is near an outlet? Is there any other solution to the long cord (it's a rental so a new outlet is not an option)? Will the long cord impact his speed or line quality? I know he has 30 days to see if it works ok, but if there is a reasonable solution, he can talk to his landlord now.
If it's a flat cord like those available at most retailers, likely, yes, it will affect the connection speed and/or quality.linberl wrote:Will the long cord impact his speed or line quality?
It would be better to run an electrical extension cord to the phone jack from the nearest power outlet.
