Broadband modems use new technology and infrastructure.
The new systems require installation and maintenance by personnel who have no prior experience with its problems since the system is new technology and infrastructure. It is not unusual to find that many of the personnel are only recently out of school. As with any new technology, infrastructure, and personnel, debugging problems can be expected during the first several months to a year. We recommend calling problems to an ISP's attention and providing as much information as possible in describing the problem. After all, many problems are new and scattered in many different forms over many square miles.
