Re: The Decline of Cablevision Outside Plant Techs

The horizontal wire bundle....

There was a metal clamp they use along the *wire run* right before they extend it off towards the house.

if the tech went as far as getting up on a ladder to cut the wire hanging down, why not remove the metal *grip* and leave 6 inches of wire just hanging down on both sides. Sloppy work IMO.

I know this is a OOL forum and opinions may be biased..

Doesn't sound like OSP to me. And based on observation of one cable where you don't know the circumstances, how do you generalize to all of OSP?

I think the number of plant-related problem posts in this forum have been going down, which would run counter to your assertion. But let's not let facts get in the way of some good OOL bashing by a FiOS customer.

Like it said in my OP, I had OOL prior. And I'm not pro anything.
I'm in similar fields so I'll call it what it is - SLOPPY cable maintenance. It's sheer laziness cause instead of removing that *lash* and cut cable that is attached to it, they just cut both ends and left that *slack /slop* dangeling in the air.

Yes, one example of "sloppy" and you are saying the whole OSP department has declined? What you described does not sound like something OSP would have even done.
