Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@MichaelCowden thank u sir 🙏 ❤️

Greetings. I simply couldn't. Due to time constraints and having to work with and within multiple teams I could not move my trailer. Also, I didn't have accessible aerial slack. So I had to work with what was available to me. Thanks for the comment good sir.

For me to claim that "I do everything" I fear I might come off as arrogant. What I can say is that I've worked almost everything, but microwave and underwater lines. Furthermore new tech is always being developed.

you know the grass isn't always greener.

Believe it or not i was gonna address this very issue, in the near future. Thanks for the comment. Stay strong sir!

@markwl285 there are plenty of new build or recent build areas that have lines underground. Those lines have their problems too. I will show this very issue in a November video. LIKE. Share. SUB-scribe!

thank you sir!

@@fredbecker607 🤣 🤣

It is economics. Some places, too much demolition is required to put underground.

It's part of the legacy of the early days. Older neighbourhoods were built with overhead wire, and they just kept adding more and more stuff to the poles as time went on. New neighbourhoods are almost always built with underground (unless the geology doesn't allow for that)

It's sad that these giant corporations still haven't replaced all the copper. They've been talking about FTTH since the Clinton/Gore days. I've been in telecom 18+ years and developed an interest in the history of the POTS network. At some point in the distant past, one of the CEOs said telephones should be a "universal service" and pushed the network deep into the rural areas. Now, if they don't think it'll be profitable short-term, people go without 🙄

Glad you enjoyed it

AI came up with the title so I went with it. And if you think about it, it actually was "high stakes" to a degree. If you can't use your phone how can you call the police or maybe check on a love one? Some of the lines I have worked on have been trunk lines for cell towers. Ever walk through a dead zone? Some folks even day trade from their homes , so I imagine minutes matter when money is on the line. Thanks for the comment. LIKE. Share. SUB-scribe.

@@JBWR People like dirtychelu has no idea how important fiber lines are. There has even been fiber cuts in some random person's backyard that takes out communication for a whole city. I'm sure he'd be okay if his ISP took their sweet time fixing his internet.

so true!! some guy digging a fence post can literally down a town or even a city!

Thanks bro!

Your far to kind!

I am pretty sure he works on the same ISP's plant as I do, just in a different state. The ISP doesn't have a ton of full time in-house fiber splicers but they have many contracts with many business partners across the U.S. these are prime contractors who have overlapping service areas and the ISP has teams of maintenance supervisors who handle coordination for repairs like this, and project coordinators who handle coordinating design, construction, splicing, headend, and installation for new services. The better your construction company is, the more work you get, period. I don't actually know the entire details of how the prime contractor I work for got their contract, I just know they make a ton of money from it, the ISP handles the supply chain and keeps materials supplied always above minimum levels at our warehouse/yard. We don't do a ton of ribbon over here, but we do do some, but we do mostly loose tube. The ISP has a rate schedule they pay for services, like rolling trucks, flaggers, accessing an enclosure for just splicing and a different rate for adding a cable into it, installing muxes, installing nodes, and fiber splicing. Lower count cables per more per splice, like a 24 ct cable paying a little over $30 per fiber, or higher counts paying less per splice, like a 432 ct paying a little over $27 per fiber. On a 10 hr day splicing new build I limit myself to 216 loose tube fiber splices (we don't have new 432 cts to splice EVERY day or anything). During an outage, I don't stop until all services are restored, regardless of the count of cable, but we have multiple teams of fiber splicers and multiple splicing vehicles. Not sure if he gets paid a salary, hourly, or units, or a combination. I get paid hourly, but its a pretty good hourly rate and many benefits. Sub-contractors tend to "make more" working for themselves, but they have to worry about their own equipment, taxes, healthcare, and everything... but also must worry about having work available for them. I always have work, every single day, so it feels very secure all the time working for a prime contractor.

Location. Location. Location. Plenty of elements should be considered when estimating possible earnings for burning glass. Whether its an emergency or not. Are through additional skills required beside prepping and splicing? Is an OTDR required? What was the weather like? Is it a holiday? Is the job during the day or night? I won't discuss my pay, but a good friend of mine earned $2 a splice on a 432ct and another got paid $600 shooting 216ct fiber. Hope this helps.

@thenerdnetwork I appreciate your input on the many elements involved in billing and compensation! You have precisely articulated the many factors that not only go into so many things that could complicate the money, but you also highlighted the complexities that could be involved in a "simple" fix. your amazing bro. Thank you.

@@JBWR Hey thanks, I appreciate your videos and the work you do as well. It is refreshing to see someone else who takes pride in their work and has a well rounded knowledge of their profession and the system they are working on. Good luck and stay safe out there,

​@@JBWRThere's a road in my city called Burning Glass! I've done mechanical splicing for 15+ years, and a bit of fusion in MDUs.

@JasonsLabVideos thank you sir!

big brother, salute!!

@babatundefabowale5586 thank u sir

@cesarrodriguez3789 compensation depends on a variety of conditions. Conditions like experience, or whether your a contractor or work for an isp. Location and season plays a role also. So many things can determine your pay that can cause it to range from 35k to 110k. Thanks for the comment.

@@JBWR right now I'm making 50k but it's not enough so I'm looking to take a gamble and go to a course to do this but I want it to pay above that even if it's just 5k more.

@@cesarrodriguez3789 is that 50k net or gross?

@@cesarrodriguez3789 the truth of the matter is that as data moves from hardlines to fiber , the industry will be increasingly saturated with more and more techs as they make the transition as well. My advice to you would be to not only increase your experience, but to also supplement your skillset by learning more about the network side as well. Comptia network + would something that could help you stand out and make you more marketable. More marketability = more pay.

Thanks for your comment, but it seems like you missed the point of checking which fibers were hot or not. That would be the reason why you don't turn off the transmitter during emergency work so that you can get immediate confirmation whether the circuit is up and continuity has been established.

Luck favors the prepared!

Sorta. Contractors came out to run a span and my guys would burn it in at a later date. Thanks for the comment!! LIKE, Share, Sub-scribe!

@CultureKind so true big bro!

@@jasonreeder2368 absolutely not. Gotta clean that cabinet first.

I know someone who would just close it and leave it

Fantastic idea, but I think it's size would be a major concern in actual feasibility. Sure when it's collapsed, that would save space, but deploying it would be a problem. FOSCs come in various dimensions, so housing the frozen case depends on it's size. Furthermore, space inside of an trailer is always a concern for efficiency and safety. Perhaps, a collapsible heat box that can be deployed outside of the trailer with the option of propane or battery power. Thanks for the comment. LIKE, Share, SUB-scribe!!
