Fiber is failing

Heard that a lot of strung fiber is damaged, can we get some statistics?

Non of the fiber that I have dealt with was bad due to construction. Yes it’s not run as neat at a lineman runs it. The issues I’ve seen have been issues with the non trained fiber techs doing crappy splices and their neatness. Everyone is a fiber tech, we are all the same

It's poor craftsmanship because no one in FTTH is a lineman. A real lineman not a dumb a-- walking around with his hat sideways like a gangstah.

You don’t even belong on this board if you are referring to a rf tap as an electric tap . Who are you a union stoker a, a spreader of dissent , a cancer in the work place or just someone who is bored . Dont get me wrong I am not a company guy anymore if a union gets in it gets in . But dont write on this board if you never spent time on a ladder

sounds like this fiber build won't be finished until 2028... wonder how many in-house techs will be left on the payroll by then.

Nope I have worked in ftth since the beginning and the only real issues we have found while testing have been workmanship , at least that’s the case on Long Island . Although the only reason the workmanship is so bad is because the powers that be believe you can rush and put up numbers and still have quality work .
