My parents have moved to a retirement community condo, and are having internets problems. They want POTS and internet service. A guy came out and said the signal was too weak and 2 pairs would have to be used, and that can't be done. When they told him about neighbors 2 doors down that have this exact setup, he told them his boss says they aren't doing that any more. They are coming out tomorrow afternoon to install something else, and of course my parents can't tell me what that is. I am assuming what they ordered was POTS and uverse internet, probably because they were told DSL is not available (this is what they had at the old house, and they were happy with it). Now that are being hooked up to something else, my guess is that it will be DSL. My question is, which uverse were they being told won't work, the real or fake? Do fake uverse boxes have provisions for 2 sets of pairs? I made sure to have them call me when the installers arrive. If the uverse internet has better bang/buck than DSL, is tnere any thing I can say to the installers to make them do the right thing? --Ken -- Ken R.
