if i don’t want an SLA, does anything keep a non-profit organization from ordering (from att or sonic) residential service at what normally would be considered a business location?
Hi Mark, Generally speaking, the residential and business services are constructed differently. The residential service will be PON while the business service will be a classic fiber pair. Passive optical networking (PON) is a single-fiber that splits a number of times between you and the company's equipment. The classic fiber pair is two strands of fiber direct between you and the company's equipment. Since they won't have built the PON-based service to the business location, they won't sell it to you there. And nothing you can do will force them to re-purpose the fiber they did build to the business location. Regards, Bill Herrin -- Hire me! https://bill.herrin.us/resume/
