These are pictures of the server rack in my basement, the ethernet
distribution panel and switches and the small computer used as a
router. Either Fidium or Spectrum was reluctant to quote business
service for a residential site so they wanted to know more but I never
ended up sending the photos.
The server rack is fairly neat and the distribution rack is moderately
neat except the very sloppy power cable wiring hanging down in places.
Nothing some tie wraps couldn't fix. The ethernet cables from the
server rack to distribution rack could use some tie wraps as well.
The placement of the Fidium EPON ONT (optical network terminator)
could be improved with a shelf above the distribution rack for the
EPON ONT and my small router.
By the way neither Fidium or Spectrum business service offer IPv6.
Fidium dedicate service offers IPv6 but it is dynamic IPv6 and not
worth paying $300+/month for. I don't think either support rDNS
delegation. Both are very poor business service offerings. Spectrum
business technical support is only moderately incompetent but will
escallate as opposed to Spectrum residential technical support which
is severely incompetent and will refuse to escallate. Fidium support
is better but not great.
