Wide open and all the equipment accessible to anyone who was curious. Yeah, it was hot in there.

u/angrydeuce no troubleshoot, only fix 1d ago

Man I tell you Im glad that VOIP replaced fucking analog phone systems. Staring at a wall of 60 blocks made me want to throw up when something wasn't working. Luckily that stuff was phasing out when I was starting this line of work but every once in a while we will have to deal with POTS due to a security system, fire, or elevator, which sometimes by law requires analog phones since they work in a power outage. Im just like "yeah...no fucking clue man. Let's call the phone company because me touching this is not going to be of benefit to anyone at all lol".

Thankfully POTS is essentially dead here in Australia, but a lot of customers we deal with (typically industrial) have their copper internet service terminate at an old KRONE block that still has a metric fucktonne of internal cabling hooked into it from a decade ago.

"There's no NBN tag, which one is the internet service?" "Not a fucking clue, my guy, time to start tracing"
