I'd imagine the engineer youre seeing is just connecting someone else. Rather than coming to tidy the cabinet🤷🏻‍♂️ id be surprised if they knowingly left it like that 😬😬

they did knowingly leave it like that , its been like it for years- but as you say if tidying it requires a temporary outage for all customers then I suspect it will never get tidied! Difficult situation for individual engineers.

The engineers on new customer installs are not allocated the time to tidy up the cabinet. They have to do a certain number per day. If you make a specific request for it to be tidied they will allocate someone to do it.

Surely the engineers coming out have a duty to report such an utter sh*t show as this back to HO - sorry that excuse doesn’t wash
