Fiber Optic Lineman just doesn’t cut it, either.
When I drive around the west, I sometimes see the old phone line crossbars fallen down. Each had a hundred lines strung on them with old glass insulators. All that replaced with one hair-like strand of optical glass fiber. Fiber optic lines are either underground in conduits or on top of electric transmission towers.
The poor Lineman never had a chance with all these technology changes.
The “Starlink Satellite Man”? Nah. Nobody can run that fast.

So are there that many customers going cel and not needing ‘copper’ any more?
There should be some credit, some award or something for Freepers who are capable of writing sentences like that. I think even Shakespeare would be proud of you.
I’m glad I’m not the only one expecting fiber optic splices had replaced all that.
