BT APPRENTICE WED 

Wow😂

ahahahahha! I remember the days of all batteries and earths on the spares. We all used to nick a good line and clear it the customers Lol

@@undavybe Another happy customer LOL

i know you might be joking (or not) but at BT/Openreach do they not expect you to move the job to later in the day and attempt it again if you use the no access excuse? what if customer phones and says they are home but nobody turned up? is BT/Openreach really that easy to work for? At VM we are expected to move mountains to satisfy the customer so trying to get out of a difficult job better have a good reason lol.

@@RU-vidSupportTeams No joke, been doing it for years off and on to make my stats look good. I know it was the wrong thing to do but I am now a manager so it was worth it! Keep up the good work guys and lets get this fiber rolled out like fury. Onwards and upwards. Lets all work as a team.

You think thats alot? You should see it now. This video was before tetra was brought in. Now instead of the rope tied down the middle of the ladder, there is webbing straps that go round the ladder and pole and hold the ladder solid. Also there's now a rope that goes up the middle of the ladder which the engineer is attached to by a rope grab so if he was to slip from the ladder, he won't hit the ground. In this video there's nothing preventing the engineer from falling from the ladder and potentially severely injuring or killing himself.

@@marcus2535 ....this is the problem when government regulations get out of control.

@@vgovger4373 not really about regulations. Its about keeping engineers safe. A fall from just 1 or 2 meters can have devastating injuries. If an engineer slips or something happens to him and is injured and off work then that costs the company alot of money in time lost, compensation and potentially prosecution.

@@marcus2535 why go outside at all. We might get hurt, the government should regulate that as well.

@@vgovger4373 there's a difference between hurting yourself on your own time and equipment, and on a companies time and equipment. When you're on company time and company supplied equipment, they're the ones that are responsible for your health and wellbeing and are liable for any accidents. If you haven't had that sense of them looking out for your welfare where you work then you don't have a very good employer.

Yes , there's lots of classroom work , especially on spelling and grammar.

lots as in 2 weeks then off out on your own.

blimey things have changed

@@_lion_1137 Have you recently applied ? I have a few questions if so

@@EclipzFuzion Did you apply? (I know its an old post sorry :) but just curious)

Did they do your job better? You sound a bit butt hurt there pal

you do realise the network is mostly UG and SOMETIMES fed off overhead/external DP's...more times than not the fault will be in a box in the middle of the road going towards the DP [POLE]

Spoken like a true idiot

Field engineers P performance managed to within an inch of your life. Its also how managers progress

yeah, if before was a line present he should check at the bottom of the pole.

Just nick a worker, at least you know it's getting back ;) But yeah, he probably wouldn't need to climb the pole at all if he could find his dis a box nearby. Of course, he might not be ug, and he was going strictly by the book given he was on tv.

Its probably just for the video, would be boring if he just went to the cab...

I agree about checking for CPI first. But why then waste time in the cab when the DP will likely need climbing anyway. Records are not always correct. Climb DP, find longest pair, intervene UG if doesnt reach cab. No faff.

Blue,orange,green,brown,slate

I see a lot of overhead cables over here in the UK, I would say in the the main cities and newer areas it's done by underground cables like where I am now, but in the older areas its still overhead, certainly in the residential zones. Guessing its the same with you guys, not like everything's going to be digital / change location overnight is it! We're a tiny island compared to the US so if we haven't been able to do it all yet how could we expect it from you! 😂
