Re: Installment of InsightBB???
situation:
i live in columbus, in. the tech came in, I had it sitting on the insightbb reg page, I typed in all of the above and he was gone in under five.
fact:
i live in an apartment complex, it is wired with rg59 bulk. i just use the outlet that came with the apartment, the apartment building won't mod the outlets, or upgrade to rg6, so I hope this doesn't happen to ya.
I have since installed a motorola drop amp (80 at bestbuy) in place of the outlet, and run monstercable rg6 to the modem, (started out with a linksys USB/ETH (sucks)) now have a Toshiba PCX1100u. things are super steady, and I almost doubled my d's n u's from the linksys (not sure what the problem with the linksys was, I think maybe the sensitivity to noisy line, or perhaps operating mhz were a problem)
Never called insightbb about changing the modem, their reg. software (or even insightbb.com) can change everything once you have an acct# and password. Try saving the cash for the install, do it yourself, call them and tell them to forget sending a tech, you just want yer actt and pass, and that's that. I am amazed at how bad a rap insight gets, when if you are competent to some degree the automation in installing a cable modem is considered by me to be FULL ON PIMP. hope you save the 30-100 whatever they charge there to do the work man....hope this post helps anyone else.
Lesson:
if you live in an apartment complex, and they won't install rg6 in place of the five hundred year old crunchy dirty fiberglass infected rg59, install a drop amp and who cares if the neighbors get bleed over, let insight hammer that out on their own time. works out for everyone if your neighbors are already annoying. :P
