BT must never have damage because
every wire (inside every cable) gets connected to earth.


You may think they have no damage, but in reality they do have
damage which is why they employ people to fix things.

Having no damage was routine even 100 years ago.


Open wires on pole routes suffer rather more damage than conductors
in cables. That is why the Post Office and their predecessors
employed people to fix things.
