Fantastic People,
Today comcast installed business cable internet service at omni for supporting the
upcoming Deconstruction event. It terminates in the ticket room where the existing cable
penetration is. A very small router is mounted to the wall next to the ticket window. This
works because Deconstruction's network needs will be near the back of the ballroom.
After the event, Jason Naumoff (Deconstruction guy, CC’d on this message) will cancel the
connection. Jason and/or his people will test the connection before the event. I have the
IP details of the link if we need them, but we should probably just stay off that
connection since it belongs to our event customer.
It might be of interest that there is existing coax running from the ticket room to other
parts of the building. It looks like it branches off to some place downstairs and some
place upstairs, probably where John G.’s residence was. In the future it would be possible
to leverage part of this cable run to terminate the cable at the sudoroom racks.
Also of note: the cable signal coming into the building is VERY strong, so strong in fact
that comcast put in a splitter to degrade the signal to a reasonable level so that the
router can be installed in the ticket room. This bodes well for future connections that
could terminate at the sudoroom racks.
That is all.

Ben,
That's awesome. I need a dedicated line for the Julia Assange event in
December. I wonder if i can pay the December fee and Jason can just
leave the line there? Otherwise I will have to have yet another Comcast
install, which seems wasteful and may trigger a flag for them.

Did anyone test up / down speeds?
Did Comcast leave the coax line running through the open casement window,
preventing it from closing? Because that is really not the best point of
entry. I'd rather not have it rain into that room after spending so much
money and time fixing it up.
The line is probably better run into the basement through the makeup air
duct, then up through the floor of into the ticket booth room.. if they
left enough slack we can do that ourselves.
Incidentally, the comcast they ordered is pretty expensive.. we would
probably want to downgrade.

The techs tested the link up to layer 4 and it performed to the purchased SLA.
We used John’s old cable penetration. The cable comes through a hole drilled in the upper
part of the window (or at least it does now). The window doesn’t stay fully closed because
it has warped. I just closed the top of the window closes with relative ease, the bottom
is colliding with the frame. It should not be a problem to get it to close if its really a
concern. But it shouldn’t be much of a concern because it wasn’t letting any water in
during the last rainfall, I watched it pretty closely. We had nontrivial amounts coming
through a hole in the roof above the ballroom balcony… but that’s another email thread.
I think we should definitely not try to reroute this connection until Deconstruction is
over.

Gotcha. Cool.
Before, the coax line was coming through the window.. It was just hanging
out in the frame. Perhaps it just fell out of its previous place in the
window frame, I'm not sure.
Thanks for mentioning the leak - was this last week? It's important when it
rains to identify where the leak is at the time (since it is pretty hard to
tell later) and john will send the roofer right away to fix it..

Comcast already knows that this connection is for an event, so its not going to be a
problem to cancel and reinstall later .
While it might save us the cost of an install, it isn’t fair to ask Jason to have his name
on the account that is video conferencing with Snowden, Assange, and Ai Weiwei.
