As a stranger things fan it’s awesome to work in the COs and see all the equipment from the EIGHTIES still in place and running. I can imagine how cool it must have been to be alive in that time and how shiny that SLC-96/DMS-100 was back then. As an employee, however, it’s completely embarrassing that these machines are still standing in a Fortune 100 multi billion dollar company. But hey, at least I get to work in a museum every day, pretty cool stuff.

Nobody wants DSL and wireline assets - good grief
Still running a dms-10 out of my reporting co lol
Bring back X bar switches
The Eighties were not that long ago to merit that equipment being considered museum pieces.
BTW, what's the connection to Verizon layoffs?
I see all that stuff running in the co and I wonder how much power they’re wasting. Some CO’s have Fios for 20yrs and there’s still DSL equipment running. Shut it down and sell it off. Someone probably wants it.
