AT&T came today to connect their router to the ONT device. Installer connects two fragments of cat 6 with scotchlocks. Do they really expect gigabit to work over this? Am I being silly?

    Why did he give you a 210? I install for ATT for a living and don’t use those ONTsv unless absolutely necessary.

    To your question you can absolutely get 1gb speeds with an install done that way… I haven’t been able to order rj45 ends in 6 months so I’ve been forced to do some jobs this way where running a single patch cord wasn’t feasible.

    Edit: I just noticed the fiber half circle lmao

          Assuming you’re a third party contractor for At&t, your work should really reassess who they are using as a distro if they have not been able to order RJ45 ends for 6 months. That’s a pretty ridiculous thing to just shrug off.

          LOL, I guess that’s perk of working for a small business. I buy what I need and expense it. Everyone in the office uses my label maker, company pays for new label tape. I need RJ45 ends, I hit up Amazon or Microcenter, submit it on my expense report with my mileage.
