Resolving Internet Issues: A Internet Technician's Show Complexity with FTTB and ISP Challenges.

In this video, we dive deep into the complexities of resolving internet connectivity issues in a Fiber to the Building (FTTB) setup. Join us as our experienced technician navigates through a challenging service call where a customer reported a non-functional internet connection. Initially informed by their ISP that the issue was due to an "open circuit"—a problem they claimed was not their responsibility—the situation unfolds with a series of technical diagnostics and troubleshooting efforts.

Our technician began by inspecting the customer's internal setup and confirmed that the physical socket was in good condition. The next step involved tracing the connection from the customer's location to the building's Main Distribution Frame (MDF). Here, things took an unexpected turn as the technician discovered that the tone sent from the customer's equipment did not register on the expected disconnection modules.

After a consult with building management, the technician identified that the Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF) on a different floor was involved. It was here that a critical issue was uncovered: the jumpering cables were incorrectly routed to another service provider's infrastructure, leading to an open circuit. This problem was resolved by rerouting and correctly configuring the jumper cables to connect with the designated channel pair at the MDF.

A significant challenge arose during communication with the customer's ISP. Despite requesting specific technical details necessary for resolving the issue, the ISP repeatedly provided incorrect information, confusing a CPI (Customer Premises Identifier) number with the required channel pair details. This miscommunication led to delays and frustration, highlighting the need for better training and protocols within ISP customer service teams.

In the end, the correct channel pair details were finally provided, allowing our technician to complete the necessary work. The video not only showcases the technical steps involved but also emphasizes the importance of accurate communication between ISPs and field technicians. We discuss recommendations for ISPs to improve their processes and prevent similar issues in the future.
