Why Fiber Optic and Sewage Conduits Should Not be Installed Together on the Same Street

And this post also shows me that you actually know nothing about it yourself. What is the use of conduits that come together at 1 point when a fiber optic cable simply runs from house to house, just like the coax cable today or also the regular telephone cable?

And no, sewage workers are not suitable for that, and not every home has the sewerage entering the same location where the telecom enters, sewerage also does not fit into the energy brick that is often used to bring utilities, including telecom, into the house. to take. Water yes, but certainly not sewage.

And standard helpdesk procedures also exist for a reason. Yes, in some cases you swear at it, but on the other hand you don’t want to know how often people are just so stupid that standard procedure just saves money instead of doing what the customer thinks is best instead of the procedure.

Management takes a long-term view, and you’ve never spoken to management, not even the fiber optics department. You have spoken purely to customer services, they don’t even know what’s going on and can’t give you more than a standard answer.

When major work is being carried out nowadays where a street has to be broken up, the municipality will inform all utility companies about this. If they have also scheduled work in the near future, they can do it at the same time. And that also happened to you, first Telenet and then the sewerage works. NEVER together, but right after each other. This does not happen together because problems can then lead to a discussion about who is responsible for the problem. And you don’t want such a construction site, where your street has been completely broken up, to lie idle for months until the conflict has been resolved.

Why Telenet with the coax first? Probably because that is the smaller work, only the front footpath has to be broken up. That drains the whole street, no doubt. For the rest it is unimportant who goes first, the one who comes after can always damage the works of the previous one. And if you think that digging a cable goes without damage … think something else. The technicians who came to connect the fiber optic for Proximus at our company had succeeded in damaging the Telenet cable, a few days later you suddenly see Telenet vans in front of the door and you hear that the company next to us has been without Telenet for several days. fed up.
