>Have you ever called Comcast of other MSO's to directly ask about self installs? >I have not but am curious what they say if they are planning on moving forward with >it, in light of concerns about network integrity expressed here The issues raised here will not stop self installs from being promoted. Of course many will not be successful. However, the percentage that are successful will reduce the cost of acquiring subscribers and speed up the process. There's no doubt that increased upstream cable plant maintenance will be necessary to ensure that the performance in not degraded. Whether that will be taken into account before self installs become widespread or after the cable system starts experiencing problems is hard to say.
