Yeah, I saw that a few days ago even before we had the rain. Frankly I hadn't expected to see it frozen over for another week or two, so maybe that bodes well for winter.

Smile Can't Get There From Here

I don't know about an anomaly, but I always thought that the miles long town line between Gilford and Gilmanton was strange, that 'strangeness' being that there are no roads between the two towns...

Post Why I Switched

One of the reasons I switched from Breezeline to Xfinity was the poor customer service - specifically tech support - and issues I was having with their Internet service that they seemed they didn't...

Another Idea

Frankly, being at the extreme eastern edge of the Eastern Time Zone is a pain. I've thought that either Maine, New Hampshire, and maybe Massachusetts should remain on Daylight Savings Time as I...

Most FTTx splits are generally 1 x 32, meaning 1 fiber from the head-end feeds 32 drops (homes), though newer networks may run 1 x 64. Depending upon the technology being used by the provider,...

It is likely any interior fiber jumper will be singlemode as I am not aware of any of the FTTx providers employing multimode fiber.

The drop to the house would be Singlemode fiber. An interior run from the ONT could be either, but it makes more sense for it to be SM since it doesn't have the Effective Modal Bandwidth limitations...

Ok, that makes sense as it means less work and less capital equipment costs for NHBB and they offload supporting the video side to someone having experience in doing so. I know Fidium is doing...

Post Got To Watch How Much We Spend

Indeed. Sandwich has a fraction of the population of either Meredith or Gilford and does not have the same amenities of either of those towns, so a small police station makes sense.
