      @scottalanmiller No, this happens in NJ and NY City for SMB all the time. We have here Comcast, Spectrum, Verizon, Altiva/Optimum/Cablevision, Cogent and others.

      Verizon is hit and miss, most has been moved to FIOS (fiber) but they still offer Coax and AdSL to customers in areas that doesn't have fiber. So we dont get ethernet drops unless you ask multiple times or if it is DSL. with Coax you are left to their Verizon modem .

      Cable Vision is Coax Internet for Businesses so all goes to an Arris, Motorola or Cisco router and then you get your ethernet Drop.

      Spectrum and Comcast are same as well.

      Exactly. This is the normal for SMB, not the exception.

      I am not saying that your experience is not your experience @scottalanmiller, but I am saying that it is not the normal for what is out there in the SMB space.

        He's the BEST!!!! Atlanta native and really nice guy. My ex was good friends w his sister, so I've met Big Mike a few times. Possibly the most talented artist in town right now.

          I expect coax options, but ADSL in large quantities and ADSL where they don't provide the bridge gear? Even when working with ADSL, which I have done, and SDSL, I always found it far more common that the gear was provided for converting to ethernet.

            Around here they have these terrible Actiontec (I think) modem/router combos for ADSL. Just terrible. They are stupidly unreliable and I've had to replace a dozen of them over the past few years.

                  When was the last time you worked with this? Basically *DSL variation come as a router connection now, not as a simple modem bridge. Have for 10 years or more actually. I was still at AT&T when they switch from using modems (bridge only) to routers.

                    Only the first one. If for any reason they break you have to purchase a new one from the telephone company.

                          @jmoore Definitely hit me up before you're here... I'll try to come up with some places you should see, plus we can grab some drinks and food.

                            that sounds like an awesome plan. i will be with the family because we are going to an aquarium there so my son can see a whale shark but i will work it out so i can do some other things. church will be on that list

                              We did that when we lived in Athens... a long time ago. Right next door is the Coca-Cola Museum and the Children's Museum both are fun.

                                      Hey, an RPG IT dashboard that makes doing IT work feel like an RPG with stats and stuff, leveling up, etc. What a cool idea.
