Ogden Phone Outage
Once again my copper line is down. Checked your service outage site. No mention of phone service ,just Internet and TV service. Telus doesn't give a damm about copper line phone service. I'm sure...

Community Power UserConsidering that phone, internet and TV all share those same copper lines in Ogden, your assumption would be incorrect.
Just checked Telus outage site.
Guess what's still down?
Impacted services
Home Phone
911 Landline
Like I said ,always last on list.
So much for CRTC rules.

Well if you think you can run new cable and reconnect several hundred (or more) wire pairs, faster than their current techs, I'm sure Telus would hire you quite quickly. The needed number of reconnections would multiply several times depending on how many cuts were made and how many different sections of cable were stolen. That will take time to fix.
You should be using your oratory skills to vent to the politicians that are being far to lenient with the scrapyards that buy the stolen copper / metals. Then complain to them about the lack of action from the police. Until that is dealt with, the thieves aren't going to be deterred.
I never tried to imply I could do it faster.
Speed of repair was not my complaint.
My beef is 911 services being last up and running.
As you said ,it's the same wire pair.
Yet TV and internet always seem to be up and running first.
Somehow 911 service always finishes last.
I also noted that the penalties for theft and damage to essential infrastructure should be way more severe.
As for my oratory skills ,I will take that as a compliment.👌
Nuff fer now
Telus says
Under investigation, suspected hardware issue.
I say
So much for reconnecting 2 wires and voila. All good.
