One of the stranger things a field tech of ours encountered wasn't necessarily bad wiring (although it's not great), 
but the fact that the demarc was located next to the toilet in the bathroom. Naturally, the constant humidity caused 
bad corrosion problems and other issues with their telco services. :) So as a general rule of thumb, avoid putting your 
telco and/or network gear next to the crapper or the services the equipment is meant to provide might also stink.

It was brought to my attention that some of the folks here may not have ever seen good wiring, so I snapped a few 
photos of good wiring here and wrote a quickie web page for the photos.  I couldn't get pictures of Ethernet wiring, 
but it's the same.  Except the last photo, it's all wax string done very neatly.  This is the goal.  ;-)
