    If you tested ingress on the drop, but didn’t barrel it off. Wouldn’t that catch the ingress on the drop only but be a faulty read

    For RG11 you can use your prep tool as a indicator for the center conductor length

    I was always tbinking to make a video of putting on RG11 fittins ("connectors") in thr freezing cold, and make comedy out of it. Get thr runny nose and thr struggle grunts to put thr connector on a stiff RG11. Don't even blow the nose just let it run. Then fail the ingress and go crazy again putting another one on, after rhr ingress oassed eithiut thr crimp, thrn failed after thr crimp, but its the last one fittin you have. Looking like Jackie Chan in drunken master with the walnuts. Grt a slow mo on tht runny nose and the grunt. Then put arnold schearzenager from total recall on it trying to get some air. Then fail again and thrn get the sad music on the frosty finger tips shaking and shivering. Thrn get some extras to okay supervisors laughing in a car some distanxe away, and a little girl in a neighbir house pointing out the window at you rolling on the ground. Then have thr farher on the phone crying histerically dialing 411 with thr ckose up on thr numbers. Then ans a tear droo in the phone. Then you hear the hello tbis is 411, thrn she starts crying like a man is outside trying to break into her house. But she is talking about she think you are cutting the phone lines. Then back to me going crazy trying to get thr RG11 fittin to oass infress befire i crimp it. Then a guy walking by wirh groceries says hey! Try this. Then pulls out some spinach in a can with a forearm on it. Miraculously you throw the empty can away and a blow dryer ruens on over your shoulder and the nusic is back on. Eyes light up on champion mess then you get that last push in on slow-mo. Ans it pass ingress at the (UG) Tap, but then everyone over you shoulder, plus that one guy with the can of aoinach to see the ingress results and fail.

    Why check signal at the tap first and not from the ground block at the house first?

    • @xTheJackofBladesx
      @xTheJackofBladesx 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Regardless, he would want to ensure that the signal at the tap is appropriate for that tap (not too much not too little) basically security for himself as a tech and to ensure their are no problems.
      Then with that, he is able to check at the ground block and see if their isn't any variation. Covers all his bases and ensures the customer is getting the best quality service.
      This man is putting in the extra legwork.

    You go out to customers that just booked the service? Wow. In my country you would book the service, get a package with the router, hook it up yourself, and IF you ran into problems you would hang in the waitmusic for 2 hours before getting a service tec date in 3 months. 3 Months later someone would come, hook up their equipment, wouldn't find the fault and leave you with it.

    Then do another one in the hood with the Equalizer scenes. You walk uo and scan everything but except they are looking at you witht the big eyes being obvious. The neighbor thats ready to talk about their service messing up too, but they just on the porch with thr big eyes and the subtitles say what you see. The customer next to the cut drop holding it real crazy loke a weapon, the movers with the fishing tape by the tap looking st you woth thr big eyes stepping over the node with no trips. The sudden cancelled next job, and then the suoervisor call and you thr big eyes on the picture when he call. And thr smart panel with no line from the ground block but a conduit, but the white family all are in thr kicing talking at first until you open the closet door, and see it, and tben bam they stip talking and then around at the same time slowly with the big eyes. Then you hit thr task up and tell them your ETC...

    I dont like how i never got paid to pull a line through a conduit. Not even putting in an AMP. I got paid like an office worker. Barely $700.00 a week...i left when thr biss pulled a glock out on me when i git back from Tennessee. He thiught I was someone else he said.

      He's a contractor. They are usually going to call into their dispatch and ask for more work since they generally are paid by the job, not hourly.

    if the fittings are old why bother changing them? Run a new drop. That will just cause a repeat
