Hi folks!
I've had Comcast cable internet for a couple of years, pretty solid. Currently using a DLink router/firewall combo. I ordered the phone service, and they're coming out next week to install it.
Near as I can tell, they have to install a device:
-inside the house
-doesn't require power
-connects to the cable coax
-connects to a phone jack
This will allow my existing phones to work w/ the VOIP that Comcast is providing. (They're also porting my number over).
Does anyone have any additional info/experience on this?
I'm concerned about:
-Where are they going to drop this box?
-What will the finished install look like?
-If I don't like what they're going to do, can I stop them right there?
Most of the cable installations I've seen/had have been pretty much hack jobs: Not finished, not attractive, and not convenient.
