1 year agoI’ll give it this much… They’re not fully wrong about the internal wiring and Comcast… Although, if you had good wiring and it’s been good, then dies overnight, probably NOT your wiring.
- Use proper outdoor/direct burial rated cable (regular cat5/6 isn’t gonna survive…)
- Grounding is an issue. Make sure you do not have a ground potential issue. Also, install an ESD/surge device just to help. Cheap, and better safe than sorry.
- Honestly, media converters and/or SFP capable network switches aren’t expensive. Conduit plus fiber doesn’t have any of these issues. Worth considering.
