Competing fiber optic corps

[DaveC426913]

Just doing due diligence to allay some concerns.

If my condo already has Rogers fibre optic cable, and my condo org wants to come in and install a Bell Fibe cable for the hole building, is there any reason to think that this would interfere with the existing Rogers cable?

I mean, they're literally installing a jack, so physically separate lines.

It depends on how much you trust your local holder of the Bell name.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_System the Bell name is owned by: AT&T, Verizon, CenturyLink, and Cincinnati Bell

In my area, at least one of those has a reputation of being... well... quite aggressive.
It may also depend on whether anyone on the condo Board of Directors is getting a kick-back.

When they are on-site you could keep an internet movie playing and if it quits, get out there with a shotgun and tell them they have 3 minutes to restore it. (Well, fantasizing is nice anyway.)

p.s. Just saw you are in Toronto Canada. Guess that's not an option afterall.

p.p.s Yeah, cynical. Around here (Southern California) I would guesstimate a 70% - 85% chance everything would be OK.

While they most probably won't disturb the other cable you may have a problem with distribution to your unit from that new building access point if you want to access both cable providers at once.

That shouldn't be a problem. We have no intention of using the Bell service currently. We are looking at it as investors, for the future market value of the property.
