Connecticut police have charged two people with cutting more than 2,000 fiber optic cables, leaving over 40,000 homes and businesses without internet service in the southwestern part of the state.

Norwalk police said they arrested Asheville, North Carolina, residents Jillian Persons and Austin Geddings on Saturday during a surveillance operation. Both were charged with larceny and criminal mischief crimes, as well as interfering with police. Persons also was accused of giving a false statement to police.

Check out the sh** all over her face and lips.

I am sure these two losers are like Honey Bunny and the skank in Pulp Fiction.

It depends on if they fiber optic cables cut were servicing the nearby cell towers.

Looking for copper? That’s soooo old school! What’s next someone arrested for starting a fire while trying to steal smoke signals?

I am not sure those two would know wether the lines had copper or not.

This is true. But they key takeaway is simply not to talk to the police.

Meth face. Battery acid and anhydrous ammonia do that to a person.

“I use coax.”

In the early days of home theater it became common to get both a digital coax input as well as a fiber optic input on home theater receivers. The coax cables were heavier and thicker than the fiber optic cables. There was a dedicated group of HT hobbyists who insisted that the coax cables resulted in better bass.

Trying to explain that both cables were passing digital packets fell on deaf ears. The coax cables were thick, they were heavy, and they had copper cores, of course the bass frequencies were better with coax!

Asheville, which for nearly two centuries has been known far and wide as “the Paris of the South” for its charm and beauty, now ranks in the top 10 percent in violent crime among U.S. cities, and things have gotten so ugly it even has a “terror alert system” that made its debut on Feb. 8.

Too bad the wires weren’t electrical wires and “live” - the situation would have taken care of itself.

Reminds me of the same thing happening several decades ago in Tulsa, OK. Some guy got into an underground cubicle and went to work with a chain saw.
