Apparently my phone # connects to another guys phone

[Elantri_X]

At first, I was like "WTF, why is there someone answering my number", apparently our telecom disconnected our line (no dialtone) and connected it to a guys property down the road while getting ADSL connected.

How fucking hard is it to connect a phone line to a DSLAM.

If an alien nest was created in there, they probably wouldn't even flinch about it.

How the fuck are you able to understand which cord goes where, I'm assuming they hook up a device that tells them which port the line is connected to.

seems that there just possibly might be a cleaner, more efficient way to do that.

 

[Bad_CRC]

why do you still have a land line? I thought those were for old people.

 

[HelenKeller]

needs more zip ties

clean and efficient takes time and costs money. It really isn't that difficult to trace a cable.

holy crap, I kill you! People who zip tie cables should be shot.

 

[antifreeze]

i use zip ties on my racks. makes shit a lot cleaner. clean work space = efficiency.

 

[vawlk]

velcro > zip ties.

reusable zip ties are cool though.

oh god, my boss does that. He has this giant bin of used twist ties.

After one christmas with kids you never want to see another twist tie again. Actually this year, I had one gift where not only was it twist tied, the tie was then hotglued. WTF?
