Re: Backhoe season?

Every country or state may be different. I am in Denmark/Europe and we
consider cable digging as low risk work in regards to the virus. It is
outdoor and the workers are in groups of two people keeping distance to
other coworkers.

Our FTTH buildout is not slowed much at all. We do avoid going inside homes
which means the installation is not finished. But we can run cable ducts up
to the building, blow fiber into said duct and do the fiber splicing at the
cabinet end. We also make new backbone and ready new areas for FTTH.

All of this means we also see the usual amount of damage done to our stuff
from other parties. In this case we will do home visits to get someone
online again. Internet is considered critical infrastructure, so we must do
so.

Regards

Baldur

Howdy,

With so much work shut down, I'm curious how backhoe season is shaping
up this year? How do the circuit and fiber outage numbers look?

Regards,
Bill Herrin
