Imagine physical disconnects in 2021. I'll stick to just removing authorization from the CMTS

Hmmmm... APC SC connectors on a pole mount distribution node? Old school in the fiber world ?
TasteyourTears
We use opti-tap at the pole or terminal and sc connectors for house enclosures or equipment connections
latibule
APC is standard for DAS/small cell cabling.
magicbryanconnolly
You have no idea....

Arial fiber is just a trip to me.

Is that what happened here? In the UK it would take a hell of a lot of effort for the energy company to be allowed to disconnect your power.
eggmuffin
That's a fiberoptic cable. It's for information, not power.
cantcomplain
Information is power…
FookinPrawns
You have a fiberoptic electrical grid?
No they can just go to the box and disconnect, but they legally can't do that.
DefenderTIM
It's not power, it's internet.
CommentsWithGandalf
Good to know. What we're looking at is most likely a fiber optics switch box for internet access
FrogBotherer
If you count the time between the disconnection and the scream you can work out how far away they are.
clamdriver
There’s an app for that?
itsthevoiceman
Right next to him? Because there's no way any internet connection would showcase a disconnect so quickly, and then a scream follow-up.
GoldenSun3DS
Online gaming?
geekyredheadedpufferfish
Exactly this there cant be much of a lag so it would have had to have been
Definitely not. The timing is too fast for a person's internet to be disruoted enough to then have that reaction to be heard at a distance.
MichaelJoe1
Yeah but how do you know how much stuff he had buffered?
MT26sol
Like you tube
Wubbalubbadubdubb101
Light travels 31% slower thru fiber at 206,856,796 m/s according to quick search. One of you bundle of sticks has to figure out the distance
Xedi22
Reminds me when we had a sales guy promise lower latency between our US and EU datacenters than the speed of light allowed...
SmilingDingo
I think the point is the speed of sound.
lronMaiden
Also reaction delay would be at least several seconds depending on tyoe of work he is using his connection.

When I trained as a telecom worker back in the 80s, Germany already buried like 90% of their lines underground. Still learned how to... 1/2
2/2 ...climb and work on poles, though. Today, even remote locations are connected via underground lines.
DiedAndHauntingImgur
In Canada it’s mostly poles, ESPECIALLY in rural areas.

What exactly constitutes "remote" in Germany? To the best of my knowledge, Germany is far flatter, urbanized, and compact than, say, the >
> far, FAR more rugged terrain of the American West.
It's also a lot smaller. I mean, it helps a lot but there's more. We are far more organized in terms of who owns the utilities. In most 1/2
2/2 cases they are property of the cities and not owned by some random investors who decide what goes where.
Norwegian here. I haven't seen phone or internet cables above—ground since the 90's.
creepwood
Stockholm is apparently the swedish municipal with the most telephone poles in the country. They might still be there, you just don't notice
Not sure what that has to do with what I said...
If you would ask stockholmers if stockholm has any telephone poles. Most would say no.
marsgoose
Where I'm at, everything is on poles but you also hit water if you dig 30cm down, so that might be the reason.
Grey56
Florida? Hawaii?
Texas, I'm at the westernmost point that still has gators..
Ohhhhhh - so LA West then.
dcchillin46
Oh so thats how they do it? Pretty sure I could fix it now, thanks!
LiquidSillyness
Laid fiber for while, your idea is gonna cost you big n piss off the people that come to fix it, also its technically not your property
icefire555
Likely they do it software side. That's a lot of effort for a 10 second command on a network.
Filanwizard
no they deregister your terminal, If they did it this way people would take the risk of restoring their service manually.
BISHPLEEASE
I wish. But no, atleast not where i live lol
Bravefront
Also that's a plug and play fibre network, a lot of them still require splicing at the house end and on the poles
DrasticBastard
Most residential fiber services have terminals.
In the UK KCOM, a large percentage of BT Openreach and Cityfibre still have a splice within the CTU
causamortis1
Unfortunately it's not always that easy. Sometimes the cable always live, but MAC address of your router has to be registered to your ISP.
Mine is the same way and top of that there is a certificate on the router to verify that it's their router. So even MAC cloning won't work
Fargus57
Used to work for ATT. We called the 'Service' light on modems the billing light. If it's red, nothing done on the street will fix it. Pay up
Or yet another squirrel ate our fiber drop... (the partially gnawed bundle had odd effects)
Yup, that's I've heard before. Spectrum on other hand doesn't. Spent days getting an issue fixed for work only to realize we were past due
Yep. in this video, the 'Broadband' and 'Service' lights would go out. Meaning a street or company network issue is in play.
xDEIx
Thats at&t not cable
ChukclesNuts
Ehh, no its all digitally controlled. Your Modem is registered on the ISP network and they just ignore connection requests when you dont pay

"Florida man found electrocuted on top of pole"
As someone who works in fiber- my favorite call outs are for people who try to fix it themselves lol!
My favourites are when they unplug the ONT and router to clean then plug the ONT back into a LAN port on the router instead of WAN
BlackberryCobbler
My favourite ones were the move-ins where the last people didnt know how to unplug the fiber so they just... cut it off ( inside the house )
IwillrateyourDeckBobandVagenePics
Yup, my previous place's former owners did that. Just snipped all the Fios wires and I had to have Verizon come and install brand new wires

"it was like when I got here." Really, cause I've got you on camera going into that room at 10:42, and the connection being cut at 10:58.
stimrhu
You gotta climb up a pole
Power lines too close to the comm lines. What country is this?
It's a PIA network where they have to share (protected areas or far away low number customers)

Nah they're not, the one at your address is usually a Phillips screw and the ones up a pole are just clamped shut

shinagami091
Hard disconnects don’t happen anymore but even if you could reconnect it yourself, the service wouldn’t work because the account isnt active
Sorath2395
Depends on the company. Comcast will do a hard disconnect if you don't pay for like 3-4 months or so. Had so many people yell at me over it.
So weird because all that does is put a strain on the technicians having to disconnect and reconnect wires when all you have to do is 1/2
flip a switch from the headend. 2/2
Well it's Comcast. Efficiency has never really been their strong suit.
