Congratulations, John! It occurred to me that perhaps they DO know how you feel about them. They've tried poor (lousy?) service and it got them no where, so they are trying GOOD service for a change! If they successfully pull it off (do the job right) will it improve your opinion of them? Why don't they just BURY the whole mess? I believe that (if feasible) that wouldn't be much more expensive that replacing the existing rats nest with more aerial. As I recall, you've said there is, currently, a wide assortment of individual protectors. Have you requested an RJ21X interface w/amphenol connector?
