The best?
I saw non-standard that pulling cable via Window, because owner disallow to dig a hole lol.
So that loosen fiber cable just getting lower and lower, because also crossing few poles to his Window without anything bind it to poles, it just hover there.
The problem for Streamyx is bad handling to the connection in between cable, and copper is such a hard thing to handle properly.
Each time they pull a new cable which fixed the poor connection issues, then after certain times of heavy raining, it will get oxide(sometime like that la) then ADSL will drop with noise can be hear on phone.
By spam clicking the pick up button, or short-circuit the connector a few times will fix and last for 1 hour, then noise will coming back...
Yes, last time got glue on it as well, but unsure did they glue it on another side or not....
Then switched to Fiber, no more issues, just IPv6 drop quietly(causing Google/Android phone refuse to connect la), then maintenance sms received, fixed midnight.
---Sry off-topic again, but always, copper cable connection issues, lol.

Even the Electric cable on this old house also same issues, pulling new cable from TNB meter into fusebox, then rebind the old wall electric cable fixed the unstable of voltage(Got use the voltage stabilizer with LED showing the voltage range/output), the voltage stabilizer just stay on 240-250V without any more issues.
But after few months, it going back to unstable, and jumping in between 230v and 250v based on daytime or nighttime again, lol.
And helk, I also saw a melting socket switch caused by 2000 or 2500w heater, twice, different house...
Crack open the socket, it is also another extension socket on side of its socket, with very thin cable...
Or my sister got a extension plug which the cable crack(Yes, CRACK into pieces) when I trying to rebind the cable back to plug head, and she marah me for broken it, without talking how danger when the cable plastic cover is cracked down lol...
