Re: "Stop putting cabling in easy to reach, easy to breach ducting"
I find the lawn service's lawnmowers are a great fix for that.
It's not on my premises until it hits the demarc. That's why it's called the "demarc" because the demarcation point determines if the customer or the telecommunications provider is responsible for maintenance, and that's not at the street corner, that's the box there on my wall with the FCC stamps on it.
It's fun to see the sudden realization on the tech's face when he realizes you know what you're talking about and he can't half-ass it.
It's going to keep getting run over by a lawnmower until you bury it, buckwheat.
