was looking at that with local service techs its no good if you've got a family ,we need more service techs then lead times will drop and no need for enforced saturdays

Kick Avonline off as well!
Don't use Eastern Euro's etc that cant count! Using and/or disconnecting existing telco subs etc
Using pickaxes to open nodes and Muxes, give them keys its cheaper in the long run!!
Give installs longer in he first instance so job done correctly first time around, instead of the doing 9 jobs a day!!

The list is endless and rather boring. Its been the same for years but the powers that be would prefer to spunk 32 mill on trackers rather than sort out existing issues

MMM,Trackers,Trackers,Trackers, so we'll have a lovely new PDA that they won't know what applications to put on it and it will end up in the back of my van along with the WFM,(Harmony) laptop we had given to us and they couldn't find a way of using it for the Netwotk Tech's!!!

Don't be so stupid, that would be common sense. Take yourself away, and re-educate yourself in the NTL way.

i had one of those [im a network tech] it sat happily in a cupboard for over5 years ,never got turned on ,iam led to believe it cost 1700 pounds ,dont know how accurate that is , but it was a wast as it was never used.
