This fiber connection technique will long be remembered for this intervention in a septuagenarian from Boulogne-sur-Mer. Indeed, some time after his arrival, he found himself sequestered at his client’s house, visibly dissatisfied with the work carried out. The technician then had no choice but to jump out of the window to escape.
We often talk about fiber patching hell from a consumer perspective. And for good reason, it is not the implausible stories that are lacking on this side. However, we talk less about this subject on the side of the technicians, who are however not outdone in terms of incredible adventures. One of them recently paid the price, during an intervention with a 77-year-old resident of Boulogne-sur-Mer.
The reception itself has already been particularly cold. The man complains about the technician’s delay and does not hesitate to lock his door to ensure that the work is done properly. The professional does not flinch until he is forced to continue the operation outdoors. Faced with the resistance of the septuagenarian, he finds himself forced to leave his equipment with the latter to prove to him that he intended to return.

Sequestered during a fiber connection, he escapes through the window
The technician manages to make the man listen to reason, leaves to make his connections, then returns to the accommodation to retrieve his equipment. Unfortunately, the latter is still not satisfied with the technician’s work, and decides again to lock his door to prevent him from leaving. According to the victim, the man even threatened him with a knife.
The attacker living on the first floor, the technician finally decides to jump out of the window to escape. He then warns the police, who arrest the septuagenarian at his home, before realizing that he already has a well-stocked criminal record. He will be sentenced to 5 months in prison. The technician, meanwhile, benefited from 3 days off work. The story does not say if this kind of adventures falls into the category of “unacceptable connections” within Arcom.
