@JvdL said:Soon enough, a big truck passed and the wire snapped. It took them four days however to send somebody to fix it - leaving me and several neighbours without phone and DSL. This continued to happen about once a month. It's a residential area and that's about the rate that larger trucks pass by. In the end, we don't even bother calling them when the line snaps - we just tie it together ourselves.
Oh man, that's awesome, in a sick way. You should put up one of those maximum height signs, to warn lorries, at each end of the road. Not that it would do any good, but people passing by could all go WTF at it (or whatever WTF translates to in Spanish ... "¿Que de fuquero?" or some such ... no hablo Español ;)
