Yep D, just give em what they want..built a system in Port Charolet Fla..came out of the head end with dual 1"1/4" on 1/4" strand..tried to talk them into 5/16" strand for the dual run (about 2 miles until it split)..too much cost...after we lashed it up, about 3 days later all the loops were pulling out and the strand was sagging below bell...then the lights came on..cost them a ton of money for us to wreck it out and put up 5/16" strand...SOS...Grunt PM's always know best..just more money for us....
Sounds like this MSO want's to slam it up, get signal and peddel it to another dumb ass that don't know what he's lookin at..some things never change...
