I had mentioned about a week ago that Time Warner had been on the scene to heat up the cable that had been installed in our building during construction.

Well, about 10:00am yesterday, they were back.  This time they were here to install our modem!

The installation tech and I hooked the cable modem straight into my laptop to get a glimpse of how fast the connection was; it looks like it’s everything they advertised and then some.

 

I’m VERY excited to be able to get this new speed to our staff!  Our counting team that works on Monday mornings always suffers the most.  They’re using the Fellowship One contributions module, and it CRAWLS for them almost constantly because of the latency that comes with most wireless connections.  I’m hoping that this will be the fix that they need.

I turned into the driveway at NewPointe this morning and saw something new and exciting near our bridge…

  

The cables (that were installed by Adelphia before they moved out) have been here a long time, but there’s a jumper at end of the cable headed to the road, so someone’s definitely been doing some testing.  Plus that large green hood wasn’t there yesterday.  I’d say it’s a safe bet that Time-Warner has been on-site.  Sa-weeeeet!! 

Hopefully I’ll have more to post on later.  I don’t see any signs that the tech has been in the building yet.  Schedule-wise, this would be a GREAT week for the cable installation to happen.

More on this as today’s events unfold…

Update:  Looks like just the construction is happening today.  By the end of the day though, we’ll have a verified signal coming into the building, so it won’t be long until our internet access is provisioned and our modem arrives.  I am seriously PUMPED about this…for those of you who haven’t followed the story up to now, this is our first hardwire connection to the internet since we moved out of Sugarcreek.

 

Here’s the splitter that was installed in the work room.  I’m half-tempted to hook a TV to it to see if anything will come in.
