Hop Bines in the sun

First a little history - in the past we had Optimum cable modem service for years. Recently having been tired of the annual increases we dropped OOL and went to TMobile 5G home internet. Boot long after switching Altice was pulling fiber down the street Honestly the 5G from T-Mobile was decent. No issues streaming on multiple devices. Only became an issue as spring rolled around. For whatever reason the speeds dropped. Congestion? Environmental? Don’t know, but I also started getting on and off packet loss. A headache for streaming TV - but a dealbreaker for working remotely. By now Optimum showed fiber availability at my address, so I looked into it. $40 per month for 300Meg. Didn’t order just yet. They reached out several times - the first just one day later - to see if I needed help finishing my order. Finally about a week later offered me a $40 credit, basically a free month, so I signed up. Two days later the truck shows up to pull fiber to my house. (Install is still 4 days out) Might have been an hour or two, pulled from the nearest pole with access, ran to the house, installed a box over my the service entrance and coiled up the excess. — to be continued — Optimum Fiber install - Mattituck Cutchogue Southold area North Fork Long Island
