| Keywords: copper telephone line trunk bell atlanta era verizon 1930s lead splice sheathed soldered electrical tape usa infrastructure pots dsl landline internet outdoor telephone wire cable This photo was taken May 13th, 2016 in the Town of Williamsville, NY. Pictured here is a copper trunk owned by Verizon Communications, which has undergone years of neglect. This copper connection is Lead Sheathed Cable, with Soldered Splice cases, dating back to the 1930s. This cable has lost one of the soldered splice cases, resulting in the wiring being exposed to the elements. Verizon technicians have bandaged the problem with weather resistant electrical tape. This is an example of the deteriorating infrastructure used to carry Internet and Telephone services in the United States, and is a prime candidate for replacement with Fiber Optics.
