Anyone here have techinal insights and experience about fibre  
installations?

I was scheduled to have a fibre installation the other day.   
First, the tech was given the wrong address.  After that was  
rectified, he told me that he was told that my building "didn't  
qualify", even though we could see spare loops of fibre cable  
on some nearby poles, *and* there were even two spare ports on  
the terminal. My neighbor had a fibre feed to his building, no  
problem.

When I asked what "didn't qualify" meant, all he could tell me  
was that first there wasn't any "assignment" for my address - 
which was later corrected - but something else is behind the   
"didn't qualify". As a tech installer, he had no idea what is  
behind those classifications.  With two spare "unassigned"  
ports, that seemed strange to the tech.  He was simply told  
that they weren't available to use.
