Well, now. I’m beginning to believe that two megabit fiber-to-the-prem internet connection I’ve talked about over the last couple of years just might happen. Finally. Last week a couple of guys came out and set a post for some of the equipment needed to make the connection a reality.
Today a whole gaggle of guys came out to…are you ready?… run the actual fiber from the concentration point to El Casa Móvil De Pennington, or in close proximity thereto, at any rate. Which was more trouble than you might think, Gentle Reader, given that the crew had to dig the fiber trench by hand. Digging an 18-inch deep trench in the soil around here is akin to trying to dig an 18-inch deep trench in your average Wal-Mart parking lot. The run from pedestal to prem is about 40 feet or so and took three guys about four hours of hard work to git ‘r’ done. They finally brought in a jack hammer to finish off the digging part of the job and are now tidying up the installation.
It’s with baited breath that I’m waiting. I might actually have that two megabit ‘net connection sometime next month. If…as they say… “Lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise.” And assuming Our Friend Murphy is otherwise engaged.
You can bet your hind-most body parts I knocked on wood both before and after typing the above.
