delicate smellicate, it either works or it doesn't. Use my simple pass fail tester if you are going to loose sleep over this simple installation. If it works, it works a long time until someone cuts or damages the cable.

This is simply not true. The upstream channel is prone to noise ingress, primarily from within the home. So, as drop lines are added, or modified, there is potential for noise source creation. It's a shared line, remember, i.e. noise sources add.

How quickly we forget the troubles AT&T had in the Bay Area in early 1999. Do you recall? AT&T stopped taking new customers for a period of several months due to network problems. I steered several of my friends towards DSL at that time because cable was so unreliable. What is the cost of a bad reputation?

Happily, I've documented on the thread that the reliability of the service is now incredibly good. I can't remember the last time I had a problem. Now, I highly recommend the service to everyone I know. Shall we go another round on the subject of goodwill?
