I have done a lot of Upgrades, Rebuilds, Retros, here in the N.E. and some that Comcast have done makes me giggle. There are 30 towns that where upgraded to 625 from 550MHz WHY got me.
I have been in the areas of upgrade from Head End to Cust drop. trouble shooting and Cert of finer nodes as well as making Gatekeepers that should only work to 550 go to 750MHz (what a pain in the A**)
For all the work and long days I put in got nothing for pay, I have spent 14 hour days out there and never got even a thanks. The upgrades around here have stopped at this time but Comcast is now thinking about bringing the 625 systems out to 750, why not just bring them out to 870MHz. I think it is they don't want to spend money on new equpment they just want to get what they have running or try to get it running to 750 ot better.
VOP is the next big roll out here and I have looked at the low end of the band and with no filters and bad drops that they don't want to change I don't think this is going to happen with out them spending more money and paying us a better price per foot (,07 isn't good).
