Re: Local Exchange Carriers bate and switch scheme.

What the telephone technicians call "Frogging Pairs" is a way to avoid or delay installing new cable. In an area where there were not sufficient good cable pairs a technician would exchange a customers good pair with a poorer quality pair in order to satisfy another complaining customer. Unfortunately these days, because of bridge taps, cable pairs that are suitable for voice service are not suitable for DSL service. Bridge taps allow one cable pair to appear in more than one building. That gives the outside plant engineer and the cable assignment department greater flexibility in delivering service to customers. Unfortunately a bridge tap can act as a tuned stub that will attenuate the DSL signal.
