What do you plan on doing when there is no more cable to pull? If you been doing "lineman" work for 20 years you never learned how to balance or splice. You basically lift stuff up and put stuff down. I am pretty sure you were one of the spoiled bunch you speak of.
Squirrels.
Are remote olts installed? Something about permits?
Backbone is built , he has olt's some of this plant will be turned on , did not say it would work since no real qc has been done yet
No we are linemen not repair tech installers and God knows what else. Here is the simple fact you can't take a bunch of candyass spoiled people and turn them into contractors. We been doing this for 20 some odd years and all our jobs light up. You guys had it so good with Jimbo now you actually have to work for a living.
Without naming names... sorry, your rite. No evidence. But wait and see. Staffing is rite where they want it. Time will prove this out.
Altice has no money for fiber completion, nor Docsis ... Stock is hard to get , tools .. uniforms should I go on ???!!! Vendors wont supply without payments !! All the rumors we all searched out before and during the sale have all come true ..
If you techs are running miles of fiber everyday with no breaks is there anyone checking to see if it will work. I mean im pretty sure you guys are doing a good job an all but fiber has to be more fragile than coax. An last i heard there is no qc on the after run. Thats alittle scary,wouldn't you agree
where's your facts? Because all it seems like you do on every single post is just assume stuff
I agree with Jabba %100. The ftth guys voluntarily gave up positions in service and maintenance. This leaves ATS the option to reallocate personnel to where they are needed for the real business, which will be docsis 3.1. I know it sounds paranoid, but they are gaming all of us, all the time. Keep your heads down and make the money while you can.
Instead of my paycheck getting bigger it’s beong invested into this crap then?
I would say on purpose
It's not the best by far but we put up miles on a daily basis and don't have breaks either someone is deliberately doing it or you guys s---
Hey!! What did a shoemaker ever do to you?
Word on street is they can't even get 5000 ft up without breaking it in 6 spots. Shoemakers!
Never going to launch it. Thats why they are using cheap fiber with no protection. This is some David Copperfield magic show. But the real trick is yet to come. When the lights go out,and they disappear.
FTTH project is just a dog & pony show for Altice's investors. It's just a matter of time before they pull the plug. They are not going to absorb the cost of going 100% fiber when they can accomplish 10Gb bandwidth over coax by going DOCSIS 3.1 for much cheaper.

Dexter said this back in May before they launched IPO.
"We've already started to do the physical upgrade of the network out here in in the State of New York," Goei said during parent company Altice NV’s first-quarter earnings call Thursday. "We've already got 75,000 homes passed, which are designed and architected, so those are the first ones we're hitting. We've actually got about 5,000 homes, which would be ready to market if we were ready to market them."
