SoxFan Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Some workers are installing a fiber optic cable on the utility poles in Riberas behind 7-11. They are wearing vests with logos of different cell phone companies. One was AT&T. The kid informed the cable is for tv, phone and high speed internet. He said they are working for US Cell. Anyone know anything about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Sounds like the same guys from Mirasol. AT&T was just one of several logos; couldn't make out the rest. No US Cell that I know of; there is USACel. Only ILOX would be doing anything with fibre for TV, phone and Internet, but they ain't here yet. He actually said, "fibre", or did he say "bassa"...

SoxFan Posted June 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Definitely said fibra. I asked if he was from Telmex or Ilox. He did say USACel as you are correct. I asked again about the fibra and he said yes. The cable was for tv. phone and internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Colibri. Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Outside my house now (in Riberas), a young man also told me fibra óptica and that it is for television, telephone, and internet. It is a very large black cable that they are installing. I forgot to ask which company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Sounds like Ilox got somebody going. Ahh.....competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 My inside source sent me this just now, of outdoor fibre cable: Turns out most fibre cable is "flat" like this. I cannot see any company popping in to do fibre, off the cuff. Look how long it took to convince ILOX. Anybody doing it has to have agreements with everyone involved: CFE, TelMex, the fraccs... we know that the lawyer who runs roughshod on Mirasol would never just let that happen. The truck I saw was unmarked: the jackets/shirts suggest private contractors... I'd need a lot more detail before running around telling everyone that "Fibre is here! Fibre is here!"

AngusMactavish Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 CG, isn't that just a drop cable? A distribution cable is much larger and round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oasiscloud Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 And look how they are "installing" it. Hopefully that isn't permanent! But it is currently hung that way all through Mirasol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha1 Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Telmex was placing fiber at the corner of the intersection near Walmart yesterday. It's coming! I asked when the resident areas north of the location would have it and was told within a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to know who is behind this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the incredible insight, webles. Meantime, Angus, I checked and you are right: distro cable is generally round, drop cable flat. Right now the thing to be looking for are the boxes on the poles leading to each house. And coming into the fracc, of which currently there is no sign.
