I agree with you that the rate in and of itself is not bad. However, moving the
NID indoors to my homerun requires crawling 60ft. one way under my house and I
doubt I can convince any Phone Tech./Co. that this is a good idea, not to
mention the moving the NID inside at all. Also, as we are all looking for extra
security in this forum, would they be willing to run it in metal conduit the way
I want? I doubt it.
To reiterate, it sounds like it's technically sound to extend the drop and I
would welcome any recommendations on a good NID enclosure.
TIA
