Actually, I was pointing out that the trouble can be surfacing anywhere, in a joking way. But, since are both buried, and likely running parallel instead of just bisecting in one spot, I'm going to guess that someone really should check both the telco's cable for grounding and bonding. That certainly won't do much for a buried cable that has been breeched and is taking on moisture. There sure is a lot of old failing UG, and a lot of pairgain going in because of it, and no one's gonna bury new UG. As a matter of fact, is now a lot of fiber going into new subdivisions and business areas right up to the building. Lot of bad UG out there.

The reason that I brought up the litespans and slc's is that they in turn have brough there own problems (probably not in this case, and perhaps so if any of those UG pairs go back to one). These days, it is our first line's and aboves position to say "It's the customer's fault, close out your ticket and move on" to the next peg count to make their numbers look good, instead of digging into cronic problems. These days, it's about numbers instead of getting the job done right, and I'm one of the guys that will stay there until it gets done, not caring if someone's numbers looks great, or not. Our customers pay our mortgages and without them, our mortgages don't get paid. It'd be nice to get the bosses to understand that no customers equates to out of business for us.

I've seen litespan do some strange things with specific vintage or release cards, and when call tech support, they don't want to talk about it, or hear it. There's one particular card, believe it's Rls 23 Fujitsu where the card has a tendency to go to sleep, if you will. It's a known problem, no one wants to admit it formally, and can bring the card back to life. The only problem is that you keep getting the same cronic complaints about NDT's. Someone will frog cards, and someone else will end up with an intermittant NDT. Enough complaints will come in (if big enough business customer), and eventually those cards will get pulled in lieu of a different vintage or release, and those cards will end up in a warehouse somewhere until the next litespan gets installed somewhere, and then those same cards re-appear at that somewhere else. I've seen that happen. Not good business, but sure do make the peg counts look good, for the short term. But you can't make the bosses look beyond the short term like the in old days, their new bosses won't allow it because the penthouse types won't allow it - doing it right takes too long, so makes the numbers look bad.
