Totally backasswards from my experience with the a**hat land line old phone guys, the ones who can’t do fiber.
First old fart came out and told me I had a near short looking into my house. I already said in my T/S complaint I didn’t want those losers in my house. He said the it was about 20 ohms. I asked him give me an actual number, it was 600 ohms, aka a phone.
He found an intermittent short down the block caused by bad wiring. WRONG!
Second Dbag found another short up the line, again, problem not fixed.
Third (younger) guy actually fixed the problem, he re-connected me at the “feed” or whatever they call the distribution box, got me off the bad circuit that was causing the problem.
I’m not crazy about the young workers but there are too many old folks who can’t find their ass with both hands. Worked around too many not to tell the truth.
Some people get old and wise, others just get old.
You can quote me on that.
And three calls to the phone company to get a lousy twisted pair fixed? How lame are they?
Sorry for your inconvenience. It must have gotten you wired.
