FYI: Comcast Metro ethernet to the home

Fri Jul 17 16:37:31 EDT 2015

Auburn is a Comcast territory and is available if you ask, this is not a 
publicly advertised service
You need to be within 3/4 a mile of a node or splice box if above ground 
or 1/4 of a mile underground.

Quick note on the two options ( I did not know any one other then 
fairpoint and comcast had fiber to the home in the state)

TDS is running a (G)PON network, this is still fiber and a great service 
if you can get it. this uses an advanced version frame relay / ATM 
network with your wave length sent to 32 to 64 terminals that then sort 
out your data from the rest. this service is cheaper to provide as they 
only need active equipment for 256 homes ( 1: 4 CWDM splitter, followed 
by a 32 or 64 w DWDM splitter in the field)

Comcasts fiber service is Metro Ethernet, same ethernet we are all used 
to delivered over single mode fiber. this is a packet switched system 
with you and only you on a wave length between your site switch and the 
head end switch. this is way more costly to deploy but more secure and 
your able to provide much better SLA's.

Also no love lost on Comcast just happen to be very happy with the 
service, at home and at my customer sites, the Enterprise division is 
not the same old Comcast every one is used to dealing with.
