Bull, erm, excrement. No offense to the TSB but it's really not their issue to know about these things and I would bet none of them have a proper understanding of how the HFC works.

A statement like that makes how ignorant some management are of HFC operations blatantly obvious. I've been studying it for nearly 2 years now and know next to nothing.

I guess my job is in danger if TSB bods know how the network works end to end as well, they get a fair bit less wedge than me but still.

I reckon they should try this for a week and then fire the manager in question when it all goes completely tits up.
