the cable from the Telstra pit next door (It had the 4 "taps" for four of
the houses in my street).to my Telstra pit.
It jammed 3/4 of the way to the pit that fed the phone wires into my
house.
They gave up that day and laid the cable from the "Tap pit" across my
front lawn and onto the connection box that fed the internal access cables
through my house.
They returned the next day, and dug s couple of large holes into the
footpath and located where the cable that they had jammed.
They then smashed through the conduit and hooked another cable to the
jammed end and pulled a new cable into my access pit
Repair consisted of placing broken bits of conduit on top of the conduit
holes, sealing with tape and filling the holes back in.

the phone lines")

**Actually, ripping out the copper network is a bad idea. I'd rather
have the redundancy. Mind you: I'd like to see the Optus and Telstra
cables ripped out. They're eyesores, noisy and just dumb.
Really, the Telstra/Foxtel/Bigpond cable in my street is underground
with the telephone wires,
How can they be "noisy" ?
At my last address and my present one, the backup power supplies are
noisy (mechanically).
How are they "Dumb"?
They should have been placed underground, EVERYWHERE in Sydney.
(Even the Optus cable on poles in an adjoining suburb, while can be
an eyesore, how can they be described as;
Noisy ?
See above.
Dumb ?
See above.
(Considering the fact that the NBN proposes fibre on poles as well.)
Then that would be dumb too, considering most of Sydney has
underground 'phone lines.
Are you aware that in too many cases the conduit that contains the
phone and internet cable/foxtel is too small to have any thing else
forced through it?
Thats a lie. And they arent 'forced through' either.
