I will be meeting some an ISP at a new site where we need a connection. Excluding bandwidth, type of line, etc. what are some good things I should know or have knowledge about when the ISP comes out to site survey the location. I have done a quick site survey nothing really to in depth, just checking where old connection came in as building is under renovation.
Solved! Go to Solution.

The other thing I would consider is how difficult it is to get from the demarc to the patch panel. If you have to run a long way to get from the ISP's termination to your gear, you'll need to consider how to do that. If it's all in the same room, well, then you're golden.

It's so different for each instance. It depends what technology you're connecting and what services. Obviously the physical layout will make a different experience too.
In general, you'll describe your layout, your capabilities and you will reach an agreement on what they (and you) will provide. They'll schedule installation which could include requirements for you to make the demarc available, such as installation of a rack or punchdown block, etc. If you are purchasing TDM it would look sorta like this. With MPLS you'll need to consider what services they have and what you provide, technically, such as the requested VLAN.
