The Derailed Thread...

AT&T is possibly the most clueless outfit on the planet.

I have a utility pole in my backyard. Friday before last (October 12) I noticed that the guy wire on said pole had snapped. Yes, the end of the run was no longer supported.

I called the city of Anaheim...after all, they've had their own electric utility since 1898 or so. We recently had an undergrounding project but they assured me it was not their pole.

So I contacted AT&T. They are excruciatingly stupid, and their customer non-service is located in the Philippines. I can recognize the accent in my sleep. I was in the Navy and have been to the P.I. seven times. They sent a technician to handle my "wiring problem." :Roflmao

They say it may belong to Southern California Edison...but I know Anaheim has had its own electric utility since Noah was a corporal...

So I call my SCE contact (as an employee of a Public Works Department of a major southern California city handling an LED conversion...yeah, I have one) and he tells me no, it's not SCE's pole.

Oh well, if the pole goes down it's going down in my neighbor's pool, not in my yard. :cool:

If all the wires snapped I'll bet someone somewhere might give a hoot and show up to fix it.

You tried, and no one cared. Lol, been there done that.
