Strips off wrong length of insulator, crimp misses insulation, creates a 'dangly', and to top it off, he's used a split pair as well! But he still uploads the vid!  No shame some people  He should work for Eircom!

At least he's good-natured over his blunders! 

"You really screwed that up, Dave!"
"Fair point well made!"

What a mess!

[silversurfer44]

Is that a video on how not to do the job?

[burakkucat]

That is the sort of mess that I would obtain when I didn't have the proper tool to do the job! D'oh!

Aww dont be mean - perhaps he's colour-blind?

"In terms of colours weve blue/white, orange, blue & blue/orange"

See - Even though it looks like blue, white/blue, orange, white/orange to me 

srsly though wouldnt you think he'd do a vid at least with a decent crimp

It must have been filmed by someone else. Perhaps the someone else decided to make his mate look an idiot by uploading the film.

He's in the wrong vocation! The world always needs more comedians!

"It matches exactly what we've done on the far end.
So now we have a perfectly good telephone cable."

I remember going to a property where a new annex was recently built. The Chap pointed out to me an nte that had been fitted recently on one side but he needed a 2nd line on the other wall. I went to work, fitted an Nte was fitting a lead in down the outside on a frshly rendered external wall and all along toward the end of the annex. I didnt have a look at the previous installation. Some building rubble was in the way. I was almost to the swan neck to connect to the drop wire when the owner came out with a lovely cup of coffee for me 

He took a while looking at what I'ld done so far and went light. I was wondering what did I do ? He said come round here and have a look at this, this is what one of your guys did 10 days ago.

We went through the house to have a look at the other side of the annex. It should be a mirror image of what I fitted. Except a patch of render where the hole for the drop wire going into the socket had been blown about the size of a hand palm. The cable stuck out in a big loop away from the wall before the first cleat. The cable wasnt exactly straight running down the wall.Cleats at different distances apart (should be 450mm on a vertical run 300mm on horizontal run, or 1 1/2 lenghts of a hammer verticaly 1 hammer lenght horizontal). The horizontal run was crooked with cable sagging down inbetween cleats and a bit of render chipped near the render support as a cleat was obviously hammered in too near the edge support. And the signature bit which identified to me exactly who did this work was dum-dum sort of pushed on one side of the lead-in by the hole instead of silicone.

I hadn't done anything exceptional, just to the standards that I had been taught. But as the guy said, how come you can do that job the other side and 10 days before someone else from your organisation do that ? Whats your managers number ? Most of the Guys I worked with in BT impressed me with the pride in the work they did. Quality was often a subject when we chatted amongst ourselfs. But you get them in every walk of life.
