hello i,m new to the forums but have been in telecoms for 24 years copper and fibre and for the last 7 years an openreach PTO.

A warm welcome to you Toby.

Hello and welcome, Toby.

Having just woken from a nap, I'm still a little bit fuddled. The TO I understand as Technical Officer, however the P is causing me a bit of confusion. Does it signify Principle?

Hi Toby....  Welcome to the forum 

[Black Sheep]

Hi Toby. A PTO on here at last !!! Just for others looking in, a PTO is who we ( the lower echelon of engineering  ) turn to, when all else fails.
Personally, I've used them (well, one guy in particular), when a REIN case requires use of their specialised equipment. A lot of PTO's don't like the REIN cases so he informs me, preferring the copper faulting/Fibre faulting instead ?? Whatever you're in to, Toby, I'm sure you'll bring a wealth of knowledge mate. Good to have you on-board.

Yes, Welcome Toby. 

I'm sure you'll find quite a few examples on the forums of weirdunusual things happening on people's lines that you can bring your knowledge and experience to bear on.

Welcome, sir!

I was with 'the firm' for 34 years until 'early escape' in '99 - when one shelf of Alcatel ADSL cards had just appeared in the repeater station.

As others have indicated, I'm sure your presence here will be much appreciated.

Thank for the warm welcome. I,m looking into some issues at the minute with cable fill.
