Re: [AFMUG] Momentum Telcom?
now the CEO has posted a video saying they had crews work through the night to
connect their backup connection at the other end of the network. So I don't
know if their main feed is back up or not.

Even propane will get it hot enough. Propane is nice because it will not get
it hot enough to burn. You don’t want it turning yellow.
Red to Orange is ideal. One way to test to see if you got it hot enough is to
use a magnet. If it is hot enough a magnet will not attract it.

Interesting tip.
Will a torch with MAP gas get it that hot, or do you need acetylene?

Aluminum can be worked with wood working tools, no problem. I use wood
routers, chop saws etc on aluminum all the time.
One tip I learned after ruining carpets in double wides. Put the drill in
reverse when drilling through carpet.

We have about 1500 lines with Momentum. Rarely do we have an issue with them. They have 2 or 3 switches around the country, so they are fairly redundant. We have been with them for about 8 years. Really have no complaints. Customer service is very

Jay, an obvious cut, like a backhoe dug up a cable or a pole taken out
by an accident, maybe 8-12 hours or so, yea. The cut we just
experienced was a number of broken strands at different places along a
mile or so of aerial cable. They spent a lot of time troubleshooting
where the breaks were and

Looks like it's coming up on 24h. A backup connection was offered and shot

As I'm sure you know it's very possible for a fiber cut to take more
than 24 hours to restore. We had a windstream cut recently that took

When I did installs every day I would use the same 5/16" drill bit for
6-12 months. I know I could have sharpened them, but it was easier to
just get another one at Lowes.
IMO drill slower so it doesn't get too hot. When you're going through
metal set the drill on the lowest speed and use
