Electricity supply supported by a... dead tree
Recently my English friend Andy posted a photo of an exposed cable TV cable emerging from the ground into a house and quipped that certainly the connection was not done in accordance to guidelines or regulations, and can even pose health and safety risks. I commented that he hasn't seen nothing yet, as a few cable TV/ telephone and even electricity power lines near my workplace have been looped or wired over road signs and trees deliberately and within easy reach by anyone, for years. Anyone who feels a vengeance against a neighbour or the cable TV/ telephone or internet company can easy inflict a disruption to the service by severing the cables.
No wonder we in Toronto suffer power blackouts, phone and internet service disruptions (even though mostly very brief) more often than one would think for a developed country.
