OK.. I'm going to show some pictures to show how they used the comcast cables lines for the u-verse.
I'm going (I hope) to do three sections, The NID, The attic and then the front office where the gateway router is.

Hows the honeymoon?
With Duh Wife or The U-Verse
Kidding, Lovely as you learn more and more and get used to the different between U-Verse and Comcast. like the new channel line up and the on demand and so forth.
My only disappointment is that they only allow one "Favorites" list whereas with Comcast you could build them all day like Movies or Buggy's and so forth.
But that's the only thing I don't like, Expecially when you have almost two hundred channels to chose from

Well, got our secondary e-mails up and running (oh boy was that fun)
Testing the speed factor showed no different than the comcast high speed prrformance.
The TV did show a couple video blinks last night, not sure what cause it because nothing else was running on the U-verse.
I recorded my first Movie during the night on the DVR and it's set up to record my DW's Y&R shows daily. Since that show is repeated daily on the soap channel you have to program the dvr to only record one time slot or it will record the show every time it comes on no matter what channel it's showing.
There are problems in the Outlook 2003 about the sed/recieve function, but going the one account at a time works fine.
I'll do a brief post on some notables on the installation later on, but it was neat seeing advance technology bring used,

Well.... we's on u-verse now and my day was long, I took notes all day and it was facinating what they did.
Right now everything is in a default mode since they set it up.
That will change over the next few days.
But we have tv, IP phone and 1.5 mbps internet (which the DW says she can't tell a different).
More after whie

Well, we're obviously got off to a good start.
No phone call yet....
No truck yet.....
At least the DW will be happy as the house has been cleaned up before they got here

Well, it's 8:05 am, the appointment was made to be here from 8 to 10 am time line.
I was told they would call before coming, I've not recieved the call.
But I'm a realistic.. Those instructions are best case senario.
But talking to my neighbors who got the U-Verse, the main problem was the Clock arrangement.
Some were on time, but there over 6 hours.
Some where there late, but only a few hours.
I don't know if they got the call.
I'm mostly nervouse about the phone end. the rest will fall in place soon enough.
Good thing is.. It's now approaching 8:1o am and I still have the internet
More as the day progresses

Hi
Do you see a Drag on the website now..
or is it getting better.
I know that as the server has to do a lookup on a IP addy due to reaLLY BAD people trying to do really bad things that could add a half second
All DNS and emails are tested to make sure there authentic now..
I also went threw and am still fixing as many errors as Kan be found
Pole ol Mr Palmer, Doesn't get no respect around here
Hey Boss, every since I rolled the graphic accellerator back, I've not had any problem.
So chalk it up as a Old Computer that Buggy is too cheap to get another Headache.
The countdown to the New Laptop begins thurday or friday, Costco' load is due in at the end of the week, then there is the recieving process they have to do before they can let any out.
So.. we should know something over the weekend. (Buggy Crosses his fingers)
Thanks
