Lenny Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 6 hours ago, Turvey said: So, do you think Virgin Media broke the pipe then? 🤔 No I reckon the leak has possibly been historical perhaps since the house was built because there was no water surfacing when Virgin Media were laying down the cables and the water metres only went in around six months before virgin media, that's a total of 20 months ago now, and it was around may last year that I received notification of a suspected leak due to the huge reading on the meter, it took them until now to process there investigation. Without the meter present; it was completely unknown how much water was being used and we weren't being charged water rates, The country was charged water rates for around a year then refunded by a change of government and don't get billed now 😀 6 hours ago, WES180 said: I doubt it. They only dig deep enough to just about cover the cable!🤬 Mine was that shallow I'm suprised the lawn mower didn't cut through it! Our cable has been run in under the wall and along the back of the shrubs, some installers are useless and full of excrement, Our installer tried to tell me it was possible to short circuit a fibre optic cable, said if I was to relocate the box to where I wanted it put; I would run the risk of shorting the fibre optic cable which could damage the network 😂 🤔Hold on now; 🙋♂️isint fibre optic cable a series of inert fibres which various levels of UV light travels through? Yes it is, has no voltage no polarity even, so how can you trip out or short a fibre optic cable if it has no opposite polarity? 😀 I later reinstalled the system myself using Belden 1694A RG6 cable, its silver shielded blocks 4G interference from other devices now getting 400mb I didn't short the fibre optic cable thank God 😂 Worst can happen fibre optic cable is if you look in to it as it will damage the back of the eyes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Premises Manager mate. Been doing it for 11yrs now. It was only ever meant to be a temporary role after being made redundant from my old Machine Operator job in the print industry. I've been keeping an eye out for a new job but nothing is coming up that is tempting enough to leave here for. Own boss most of the time, 4 mins from home, 32 days hols, good hours.......
