Re: Bypass Telco's NID box?

["Jen...tel" <poleclimber@xxxxxxxxx>]

Let me tell you Crash, you are full of it.  What you said is why we
look at you alarm guys as wannabe-technicians.  You guys are never
wrong in anything are you?  20+ years and you say you never had a
single case where you screwed up a phone line and the NetTech was right
to cut you off the loop?  Thats bull up to your ears.  We make
mistakes, all of us, and if I see something our tech did screwy, they
will hear about it.  I can tell you about mistakes we make that will
make your hair curl. You alarm guys simple talk the shit like you never
do anything wrong.  That's why you get what you get from us.

I also don't think you understand what it takes to trouble shoot a
phone line.  You are only looking at the wire you installed from the
NID to the alarm and back.  We have to look at every circuit, including
yours.  To unplug the alarm Rj is to forget that there are wires going
to and from it that can be the problem.  Your simple explaination is
another one of those things you think is correct but not so simple
anymore, is it?

I read the post on the NID and you alarm guys keep saying all this crap
about what to do and screw the phone company or they won't do it.  The
guy who actually did something about the NID said he had no problem
with the phone company moving it and the cost was not so bad.  That
makes what you guys say plain old bull.

If all you who want to get on our case for charging for out labor, tell
me what you charge per hour to add equipment or do service.  You guys
have one lousy house on a street with one phone line to the alarm yet
you think you are the master technicians of the communications world.
We have hundreds of lines with various operations on that street and
they all work unless you mess with it, now who's pulling who's leg?
