I am happy to see the progress that has been made, even with all the hurdles that have been involved in this project. I was excited to see that testing looks to be underway in the Cemetery West node. And I must admit one of my first reactions was “wow, that’s sure close to our Dreamview node!” Maybe I have a bad habit of over analyzing everything, but a few questions popped into my mind as I as have been reviewing some of the other forums. The first question / assumption that spawned several other thoughts was when reading a forum about some of the terrain and construction timeline challenges for some nodes, “with the most difficult areas coming last I'm afraid. To be successful we have to do the easy customers first and work our way across town, but the city council is committed to running the service to every house in Salem that wants the service.” I ignorantly started assuming and since Cemetery West is just south of the Dreamview node, and the terrain is flatter than most of Salem nodes that I can think of, off the top of my head and wondered if it would be the easiest to transition up next in this area? Then sparked a wave of how can I help expedite it to our area, and all the how I can assist questions. As I’m sure we are all wanting fiber to our homes ASAP. I’m just going to start listing some thoughts and questions below. No pressure John on having to answer every one of these immediately as it sounds like you have your hands full! Maybe others already know answers to these. Or has already been answered and I haven’t seen it yet. If nothing else, Maybe this will spark other ideas? Is there anything Salem community or individuals can do to assist in any way? o Maybe we could assist with some obstacles or concerns I have noticed in other posts? Are any of these similar to the termination boxes that are being used at the entry of houses? 1. 2. 3. 4. ·
