I don't know of any residential telco services (pots, ISDN BRI, or DSL) that has an active handoff they can test to without a truck roll.
FiOS and anyone else who's doing triple play from an ONT. :-)
I don't know of any cable services with an active handoff similar to an ONT, although they can interrogate most cable boxes and modems for signal quality measurements remotely to get some idea of what is going on. On the flip side, when CableCo's provide POTS they must include a modem with a battery, and thus incur the cost of shipping new batteries out and old batteries back every ~5 years; which they sometimes do by truck roll...
Yeah; I have 10,000ish passings in 2.8 sq mi; I *want* to visit each node once every 5 years. :-)
So it seems to me both of those services find things work just fine without an ONT-like test point. ONTs seem unique to FTTH deployments, of which most today are GPON...
Yes, but I hate GPON with a passion. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R. Ashworth Baylink jra () baylink com Designer The Things I Think RFC 2100 Ashworth & Associates http://baylink.pitas.com 2000 Land Rover DII St Petersburg FL USA #natog +1 727 647 1274
