We Have Fiber...And Not The Dietary Kind (2007-11-01)
The day before the appointment, workers came to check out the place on their own
KDDI delivered this box a week before the date of installation
A thingie to replace the old one
Cables and stuff
New thingie
Old thingie
Messy outlet and wires
KDDI workers arrive
Their equipment
Doing stuff (note how Daifoo sleeps unfazed in his box)
Three workers work on the installation (plus a driver waiting in the van)
Threading the cable through the air conditioner hole
Done. They put a new wad of putty on top of the old one put there by the people who installed the new air conditioners last year, it's not pretty but we don't care a bit
Testing the equipment
They're leaving
We used Bluetac to hold the cable because we can't let them drill holes on the wall to install plastic tubes (5 bucks for a meter) to house it. Saves us money this way too
Bluetac is pretty good stuff
Holds up the cable well
