OT: Slight Tech question. The phone company (didn't see actually who installed these wires) seems to be bringing in new wires into my complex. They are covered in black rubber and seem to be about 1-1/2 inches in diameter, about twice the diameter of the current lines. There is a whole new set of the wires on the electric poles behind the units with black, oval transformer or booster looking things--usually about a two feet before each pole and after, including one on the line after the pole leading into the building. They are looped at the poles and the building, and the loop seems to be the end of the "wire", so it has to be fed into the building. The loop is located where the current phone wires enters the brick and goes down inside the wall to the phone box which is attached to the building on the outside wall. I am aware that Southwestern Bell recently laid fiber on the other side of the expressway, about a block away. Anyone have any ideas what is being installed?

BTW, it's not coming in where the TCI cable wire and junction box are. Maybe my phone service and line is being upgraded so a 56K modem will actually work or maybe ADSL (?) or one of the other acronyms that will provide me with faster access to the net.

Thanks in advance.
