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.
