Re: While its true...

said by imwhite :

All the companies have faulty grounding installations, usually by a rushed tech or even simply ignorance. I know cable still grounds to water taps in certain situations and 99% of them are not up to NEC spec. They are just picking on Verizon at the moment, if they inspected all the companies that harsh youd see plenty of whining about them too.
You are probably right, however, why has Verizon not responded in kind by reporting those shoddy cable installations that they are replacing? While this is certainly an attack on Verizon in an attempt to stall the spread of FiOS, there is some legitimate concern. The motive behind the reporting might not be as noble, but you can't knock Bright House because it benefits them directly.

Maybe for the same reason I don't: I wasn't aware that it's my job to snitch on the code violations of other companies. I don't squeal to code enforcement when customer's houses have code issues either. This is a cheap shot at VZ to try to slow whatever competition they may represent, nothing more. To say that any of these big corps do anything based on moral fiber is laughable.

The codes are there for a reason, oftentimes because of safety issues. Doesn't this contradict your own moral fiber by ignoring such violations in favor of some fraternity of installation technicians? If you are correcting these violations and getting them up to code, than you are a great person that deserves much praise, but that does nothing for other customers if you don't report them.
