Access • Re: Sonic Fiber in Castro Valley?

Sonic came by 2 days before the installation to attach the drop to the house. The emails noted that subscribers don't have to be home for this event to occur nor did it provide a date. The process took 15 minutes which included checking for light attenuation.

Yesterday a Phase 3 Fiber bucket truck did something on the poles. They probably attached fiber service/distribution terminals for today's fiber drop. The installer terminated the tip with a splice-on connector (SC/APC (green)). The splice is temporary as the installer will remove it before fishing the drop into the house.

I asked them if I have the option of using an ONT over a combined ONT/gateway. The installer said "yes," but I asked for the entire 300-foot allocated drop so I have the option to move it to my network closet in the future. I calculated ~100 feet of slack as shown in one of the attached pictures below.
