Preparing for the fiber to my home

I had seriously contemplated this thing for sometime. About high-speed fiber-optic cable that has me online around-the-clock. Right now I am dialup. Service connection is so slow, takes me all-night downloads, and pay-by-the-minute dialup access. And I can't go online as much as I want.
ADSL option: It's no good cause ADSL is not available in my area. So I consider altermative options and finally dicided. Fiber-optic broadband service! Then I began looking at the service provider and service plans, which are described in detail on their sites. And finally decided.
It seems like my living place is available for that. Then signed up.

Today was hard day...Today was contractor supposed to come to my home for on-site survey to verify that the installation can be performed. So I had to make this quick! Cleaning up my whole house. First I go vaccuming my room and then first floor. Then bring some things into closet, etc... It's was really tough work. But it looks
pleasant now.
Then after that, they came to my home. It seems like existing telephone line can be used for
data transmission, and requires pulling fiber-optic cable into my house from the outside. No additional cost! I was so relieved to hear that. However, I was told that I should replace
the old phone which I am using right now, to the new type of one. That way I'll be ready for
digital phone and fiber-optic broadband with additional no cost. I can't express all this
technical things at here. It's difficult... And my service plan is all free of charge!

But It left me some problems. First off I have to meet with my building owner to receive the
necessary clearance. I wish everything would go smoothly...
