building management (on behalf of the housing association) sat down with
Senior reps from the cableco and thrashed out a set of standards and
requirements for safety of workers, etc. They then spent a ton of money
bringing the basement up to code, and instituting practises like needing two
people to go down there, etc.
What on earth is in your basement that makes it so unsafe even after spending a ton of money on it?!! Some sort of scary engineer-eating monster?

Telewest never fail to entertain. A student friend had a second modem line put on his account in the days before broadband. They never sent him a single bill for the second line.

Another friend had cable running down his street but they always claimed he couldnt get it at his address. Eventually he got so annoyed that he transferred £20K of business leased lines away from them..

Thank goodness for ADSL :-)
