Outland, no. But I have seen Connery in Zardoz. Now that is a quality flick.

Not likely. Even the largest typical fiber count cables (216-432 strands) are barely an inch in diameter. A one inch copper cable would hardly be worth the effort.
TeliaSonera is predominantly a euro-russo-turko company. I never heard of them owning lines in North America.
They probably are just doing 10Gb Ethernet over fiber, and they bought either one or more wavelengths on top of DWDM provided by Cogent. Cogent themselves do not do SONET, instead, they rely on Ethernet plus routing.
Sounds like a giga flop to me. Or a mega faux pas. Yeah that’s it.
I’d get more work done in my cubicle.. lol
THUD!!
Can you do us all a favor and never post that photo on this site again? Thank you.
Doesn’t matter to the Meth Heads. The current method is to open the lower end of a light pole, tie a rope to the cable and the other end to the bumper of an old car and pull out a 1/2 mile or more of wire.
Oh. My. Gawd.
I can hear that thick Scottish accent, “I haff the bigghish ballsh on the beasch, and I haff the bigghish gun too”.
If I were Connery, I would spend a pile of money to get that photo off the ‘net.
That looks like the back-hoe of death, to me.
I have to say that I would have never thought of doing that.
Yep. Albert is Al Gore. It's a Global Warming (TM) joke.
What? Sniping is the best part of eBay :)
That image came right from the official Caterpillar website.
I was always a bit partial to Andrea played by Sherry Jackson in “What Are Little Girls Made Of?”.
Pulled up? Where is it located, underground, underwater? Does not make sense. How can they determine that it is gunfire that did it, were there reports of gunfire in the area?
That being said, there is an saying that the best attack on something hi-tech is usually low-tech.
At least it was better than Zardoz, however Zardoz did have Charlotte Rampling in it
“Most decent providers will use a meshed architecture where loss of a single connection will not cause failure.”
Not my phone company. Embarq doesn’t believe in backup anything. Every outage is a 24 to 36 hours period. It affects entire towns and 1,000s of DSL subscribers. About once every 3 months.
Sprint was bad and every spin off of Sprint’s like Embarq is not worthy of their customers.
I am now actually getting spammed by the Embarq mail servers with duplicate emails. 100s and they’ve done nothing to stop it since last Friday. I have to abandon an email address because of the phone company Embarq.
