One of the stranger things a field tech of ours encountered wasn't necessarily 
bad wiring (although it's not great), but the fact that the demarc was located 
next to the toilet in the bathroom. Naturally, the constant humidity caused bad 
corrosion problems and other issues with their telco services. :) So as a 
general rule of thumb, avoid putting your telco and/or network gear next to the 
crapper or the services the equipment is meant to provide might also stink.

It was brought to my attention that some of the folks here may not have ever 
seen good wiring, so I snapped a few photos of good wiring here and wrote a 
quickie web page for the photos.  I couldn't get pictures of Ethernet wiring, 
but it's the same.  Except the last photo, it's all wax string done very 
neatly.  This is the goal.  ;-)
