Had a network drop in a VIP office that worked fine for 10 years until we upgraded to gigabit (this was around 2010). Our very, very crappy cable testers (basic continuity testers) all said the line was good. Had a low voltage guy we used test the line, he ripped it out, and found out half way up the wall, the wire was cut, and then each strand was spliced with electrical tape back together.
