Cable attached to pole. Car wipes out pole.

Cable terminates in a street box. Car wipes out street box.

Lots of scenarios!

Exactly my point. It's just not a usual occurrence, hence my reaction

You'd be surprised! Between 20-30 new cases per week... keeps the lawyers and insurance companies busy.


What scares me is that there will be plenty more targets when Telkom start their MSAN roll out. The impact will be worse as the entire area will be without ALL services if that street box is taken out.

Eish....news to me I agree it would suck if the entire area is out due to a car crash.
