Maybe it's the fact that the NTDs are being powered by residential houses instead of the provider's exchanges, and *very* few people in reality use *good* surge protectors - let alone know they have to replace them after a hit, or identify when they're no longer working? The power's still

Agree, and as per the text below (cut 'n pasted from: https://www.cablinginstall.com/cable/article/16465312/ground-potentials-and-damage-to-lan-equipment), maybe part of the problem is that each house has a different earth potential? I'm not an electrical engineer - so I'm assuming the below is

The FTTC NCD's in the customer premise reverse power the DPU in the street(curb). Up to 4 premise connected to the DPU can share the reverse powering of the DPU to allow lower power draw from each user's NTD and also providing a form of redundancy for the users connected to it. So I'd hazard a
