ampz Posted April 6, 2005 CID Share Posted April 6, 2005 Well basically 5 minutes ago I just saw 3 verizon vans on this block and SPOOLS AND SPOOLS the hugest spools of orange colored cables i ever saw in a shopping center parking lot. Imagine the little orange thing that holds an extention cord. The thing with the little handle on it to reel up the extention cord. Well thats exactally what this looked like only about 100000x bigger. Is this FIOS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billli Posted April 6, 2005 CID Share Posted April 6, 2005 Probably not...the orange stuff for FIO is a conduit... the cable is relatively small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billli Posted April 6, 2005 CID Share Posted April 6, 2005 Forgot....most of the cable installation in our area was done by subcontractors and not verizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ampz Posted April 6, 2005 Author CID Share Posted April 6, 2005 But is it conduit for fios? Or do they use that huge condiut for phone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billli Posted April 6, 2005 CID Share Posted April 6, 2005 No way of me knowing....the orange conduit used on my block for FIOS was no more than 4" OD. I'm not an installer so I don't know if they use orange conduit for anything other than FIOS. You should have flagged them down and asked them.

bwt1953 Posted April 6, 2005 CID Share Posted April 6, 2005 They put in that orange condiut in my neighborhood a couple of months ago. The work was done by both Verizon and contractors. They're out there today pulling fiber from vault to vault. I'm going crazy...this is like watching Santa on the neighbors rooftop. What's your location? This is Leesburg, VA.

netmasta Posted April 6, 2005 CID Share Posted April 6, 2005 lol This thread is reminding me when contractors for Mediaone (Comcast) came to my town in '98 to replace the existing cable to get ready for HSI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwt1953 Posted April 6, 2005 CID Share Posted April 6, 2005 Yeah...it is pretty sad isn't it. I'm sorry, I'm so ashamed of myself. I guess I won't post the PICTURES of the man terminating the fiber IN MY BACK YARD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
