Plowing, Pulling, and GPON overbuilding DSL 

Thanks for watching yeah now this week it's 50 degrees almost need a jacket

Our plow has that too but we never really had much success with it. We sometimes use a garden hose attached to a conduit it can allow you to push 20-30ft in most conditions.

It's that humidity that gets ya

@@briceperdue7587 Apparently we'll have 107F this Thursday, with 32% Humidity Not looking forward to this :| I miss when I was in Europe haha nice and chill

Please do we are putting fiber in like crazy now

$90 you can get DOCSIS 2.X 250Mb\15Mb and also can get DOCSIS 3.X 1Gb\30Mb in cable areas, but just 3 miles away you can get DSL 3Mb\* and fixed wireless in some areas for $165. So it's a product that doesn't exist 1G\10G speeds has never been an option.

I have actually found a interesting trick with the cable if I find this 1 point I can remove the metal and jacket at the same time. I still think they added the outside jacket to fast or something

@@briceperdue7587 yes that is the ideal way to remove the jacket & sheath together. Usually the main reason they are melted together is due to the placing technique. The heat that’s being generated from pulling thru multiple boxes and especially using the tracks on the excavator. I’m sure you’re exceeding the radial bend as well as the rated tensile pull force on the cable.

DSL is what a lot of these folks rely on for internet access.

​@briceperdue7587 I understand, I worked for Verizon for 22 years and installed & repaired DSL. The post was about fiber spicing.

@@williammcgahan1820 Not sure exactly what your getting at 100% DSL runs on copper. We are a CLEC that doesn't deploy copper and runs completely facilities based without telco wireline services. I was only comparing how GPON vs DSL is a crazy upgrade and the most economical in a dual overbuild of the traditional telco and the cable company.

How far away are you? Multiple states or multiple countries?

@@briceperdue7587 New York State ... Westchester County. Just a little bit out of your neck of the woods, I think. I'm a data center professional and have built out lots of infrastructure -- BGP, OSPF, overlay/underlay, MPLS, the works. I'd geek out with you on the Simple Fiber network just for fun. And if I were in your service area I'll bet I could get a totally pimped out connection at home with BGP and static IP and all sorts of fun stuff. Oh well. At least I have fiber, even if it's from one of the big guys.
