About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Customer Satisfaction with Wireless Internet Higher than Wired and Satellite, J.D. Power Finds

By: via Business Wire

AT&T Ranks Highest in Two Regions; Google Fiber and Verizon Each Rank Highest in One Region

Overall satisfaction among wireless internet customers (5G or 4G LTE home internet) averages 748 (on a 1,000-point scale), while overall satisfaction among wired (fiber and cable) and satellite internet customers averages notably lower (712 and 577, respectively) according to the J.D. Power 2023 U.S. Residential Internet Service Provider Satisfaction Study,SM released today. These differences are primarily driven by gaps in satisfaction with cost of internet service, with cost satisfaction among wireless customers averaging more than 90 points above those of wired customers and nearly 190 points above those of satellite internet customers.

With an average monthly cost at $79, satisfaction with cost of service is significantly higher among wireless customers than wired customers, who have an average cost of $72, suggesting that cost alone is not the only determinant of satisfaction.

“Wireless internet has higher customer satisfaction in each factor of the study,” said Carl Lepper, senior director of technology, media and telecom at J.D. Power. “Wireless companies have done an admirable job of conveying the value of their wireless internet service which may explain higher satisfaction among wireless customers, even though they report higher monthly rates. These companies have advertised the benefits of their services, such as greater convenience, speed and bandwidth—and have backed up these claims, as seen in their customers’ actual experience. Satellite and wired providers may continue to face increasing competition from this sector and will need to both communicate and deliver on the value and quality of their service to remain competitive.”

Study Rankings

Verizon ranks highest in the East region for an 11th consecutive year, with a score of 760.

AT&T ranks highest in the North Central region with a score of 726, followed by CenturyLink (709) and Xfinity (707).

Google Fiber ranks highest in the South region with a score of 839. AT&T ranks second (753) and Frontier Communications (738) ranks third.

AT&T ranks highest in the West region with a score of 732, followed by Frontier Communications (716) and Xfinity (712).

The 2023 U.S. Residential Internet Service Provider Satisfaction Study is based on responses from 23,623 customers that currently have internet service with a provider included in the study. The study measures overall satisfaction with internet service providers based on five factors: performance and reliability; cost of service; communications and promotions; billing and payment; and customer care. The study was fielded from October 2022 through August 2023.
