I do fiber runs and whenever possible it is strung up on poles. It is far faster and easier than doing underground cabling because there are no utilities or gas lines or what have you to possibly hit. More of the stuff put down 15 years ago was put underground but a lot of it now is just lashed around current telephone lines.
- patejam 8y agoYeah and for last mile lines it makes complete sense, no problems there. It just seems crazy that a utility pole holds a massively important link between two cities. But I guess that's just how it is.
- anonymous5133 8y agoYeah seems crazy but not crazy since traffic can always be rerouted and once the line is cut you immediately know its out. I think the bigger issue is that people actually experienced an interruption of service.
- grigjd3 8y agoMuch easier and faster to repair. The key to keep in mind is not if a break happens but average downtime over the year.
