[RFI] Optical Network Terminal?

[Charles Plunk]

Thanks Dan. Good to know. If i did get unlucky I could try other ONT's 
other than their supplied one and if worse come to worse go back to 
cable i have now which is noise free. We just became eligible for 
optical a week or so ago. Caravans of white pickups pulling trailers, 
wire wheel trailers, and bucket trucks have been a common sight as of 
late running the fiber. I know its minor to try to save <$20 a month but 
it all adds up.

What I find really interesting is cable internet just went up $5 a month 
for December. I know its a corporate thing but its funny it went up 5 
bucks for me within days of me be eligible for cheaper & faster fiber. 
Jim is right though I don't need the speed especially at this time. Just 
looking at the savings.
