If you ever have an opportunity to move into a new construction, whether it be a condo, townhome, or single family residence... make sure to test the phone lines and cable before you move in, and also make sure to notify the utility companies in advance that you'll be moving in.
It was the last thing on my mind, but as it turns out, the phone lines were fuzzy and the cable TV / internet lines hadn't even been hooked up yet. It's going to take Comcast 2 weeks to have someone come and hook cable up to the house (even though the house itself is already wired on the inside). Since Comcast was unable to come out to our house sooner (the earliest they could come was 2 weeks after we moved in), I will have gone at least a month without any kind of TV or high-speed cable internet.
And we just got the phone lines cleared up yesterday. Apparently, one of the RJ-45 lines had a mixed up wire in the GE Connection Center. Since that's been fixed, I may have to resort to dial-up internet in the meantime (before, the line was so full of static that no faxes would come or go, and no 56K internet connection would stay connected).
