And don't the fibre cables include a steel rope to take the tension?


yes. and a copper pair, too.


Yes, drop wires that they've already installed contain a copper pair,
but will they continue with that now they're going fibre-only and using
voip?Β* I'd have thought they'd want to remove all temptation for the

€œit should be clear by now to everyone that activist environmentalism
(or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans,
about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and
the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a
'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,'
a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for
rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet
things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that
you live neither in Joseph Stalins Communist era, nor in the Orwellian
utopia of 1984.€
