A photograph of a partly dismantled office, through the wall pokes a large black cable with a bundle of smaller wires within, and two small telephone cables.. all of which are cut.

   I was called to a job yesterday.. "they just cut through their internet cable while redecorating, both ends of the cable are accessible, they just need rejoining."
   🔌
   Nobody told me one end was a ~100pair (200 wires) and had been cut almost back to the wall.
   Needless to say.. I couldn't repair their internet, without having engineering access to put a tone on the line from the exchange I had no hope of guessing which pair it should have been connected to 😭.
