@scottalanmiller No, this happens in NJ and NY City for SMB all the time. We have here Comcast, Spectrum, Verizon, Altiva/Optimum/Cablevision, Cogent and others.
Verizon is hit and miss, most has been moved to FIOS (fiber) but they still offer Coax and AdSL to customers in areas that doesn't have fiber. So we dont get ethernet drops unless you ask multiple times or if it is DSL. with Coax you are left to their Verizon modem .
Cable Vision is Coax Internet for Businesses so all goes to an Arris, Motorola or Cisco router and then you get your ethernet Drop.
Spectrum and Comcast are same as well.
Exactly. This is the normal for SMB, not the exception.
I am not saying that your experience is not your experience @scottalanmiller, but I am saying that it is not the normal for what is out there in the SMB space.
I expect coax options, but ADSL in large quantities and ADSL where they don't provide the bridge gear? Even when working with ADSL, which I have done, and SDSL, I always found it far more common that the gear was provided for converting to ethernet.
Around here they have these terrible Actiontec (I think) modem/router combos for ADSL. Just terrible. They are stupidly unreliable and I've had to replace a dozen of them over the past few years.
But they provide them, right?
Only the first one. If for any reason they break you have to purchase a new one from the telephone company.
Obviously, that's always how ISP equipment works.
Eh? Not around here. If your business cable modem dies they give you a replacement.Dies, vs. you killed it.
If they can prove you killed it they Might charge you.But I have never heard of an issue around here for that. And sadly I have had to get replaced at least a half a dozen modems over the years.
But they replaced it since it was their stuff that died?
I want to say, but of course they did, but it feels like a trap.
LOL, no, that was my point. If it is their equipment they fix it if it dies, but not if you threw it out the window or drove over it or set it on fire.

On my desktop, yes, for a while now. Keep thinking about just moving to Fedora everywhere, though. But Deepin is quite nice.

I need to dig up a USB drive. I have a windows 10 desktop in kitchen area I want to convert to deepin. Was actually thinking the other day about how i might accomplish without the USB drive, even though I know many are hiding in my garage.

Nope. To add new images to replace out of date images. Yes, images in Email signatures. I can think of a couple of users who will have at least 5 images. >(
