The power of blogging and HN. Asus or my ISP didn't tell me why my router/internet went out twice today. I honestly thought thieves stole my copper again: http

    Maybe they were spotted by the police and had to pretend they're there installing the wires so they don't get caught.

  I love when thieves are trying to steal copper, but all they get is a broken fiber optic ;) My dad works as a network engineer, and he told me a story that one of the banks in Poland lost one of the internet providers. They investigated and found out that thieves stole hundreds of meters of a fiber cable, because they thought that it's copper.

    Don't they typically have co-extruded copper in the conduit/pipes for Utility Locators to use, even if it's just fiber inside?
