Re: Not that bad
If you don't care where the various dial tones wind up, yeah, you can have it fixed in a day. Paper cable has no color code, therefore, if it's cut you need to tone every pair from the central office as well as the many remote terminals they serve. One pair at a time.
It's not just a game of continuity, but, straight continuity.
Trust me. I do this stuff for a living. |

| I could see it taking a lot longer with pulp cable- just don't see much of it anymore in our region. Of the many cuts I've had to deal with (not in the field though) I've never encountered one taking more than a couple days, including those involving thousands of pairs. |

Anyway, getting back to the original point, fiber is immensely easier to fix. |
