When Comcast came to our house about 3 years ago and updated all the
gear the tech told me that it was part of a nationwide upgrade project,
primarily to handle the new (at that time) Xfinity 1 services.
He said they were starting on the east coast and west coast and expected
to update all areas over the next couple of years. Maybe they haven't
got to your neck of the woods yet.
One thing I noticed during the recent storms and power outages. There's
a large, metal Comcast "box" not far from us that I believe houses
distribution amplifiers. During the power outage Comcast had come by
and hooked it up to a small Honda generator like the one I have. They
put a chain through the generator handle and to a ring welded on the
Comcast box so nobody would walk off with it. I assume that's why we
still had cable service even though we didn't have power. When I went by
it looking for coffee a Comcast/Xfinity truck was there and the guy was
refueling the generator.
I see you can get a metal bar shaped to attach to the plastic handle of the EU2000i generators. Protects against thieves sawing through the plastic carry handle. Saw a generator attached to a gray box on a lamppost up the street during our 2 and a half day power outage early January. Generator there seemed to be about the size of a 5000 watt model.
Those are a worthwhile investment. I use that with a cable attaching the generator to my RV when
camping.
