We did the move yesterday and everything went just fine. The new apartment was actually served from the same set of riser taps that the original one was.

The reason that the customer asked us to do this was because Comcast had told them that there was a three-week window to schedule the dispatch of a technician. They were more than willing to pay, but three weeks was too much of a delay.

I got a chance to scope out the riser and tap arrangements for this complex of three high-rise apartment buildings. Yes, each building does have a physical street address, but they all share a single telephone/CATV room in the basement of one of them, so a nodal issue in any apartment won't be a problem.

Thanks for the reminder about 911, Hawk. Didn't think about that one. I'm sure that the customer can change this information with Comcast for minimal (if any) expense.
