To be fair, this sort of thing does happen from time to time in perfectly legitimate situations. In some cases, parts need to be acquired or maintenance schedules need to be arranged in order to do a propper repair. So just because you see these, don't immediately think it is bad techs rather than a temporary, "keep it working until you can do it right." That said, I've seen more jury-rigging in my time than I care to think about. Nothing like a temporary fix that is still in place five years later.

We put in the trouble ticket, a couple of days later Verizon says the issue is resolved...until the next time it rains. The customer sent us some pictures today of the pole outside their office. The repair appears to be wrapping some plastic bags around something up on the pole. Here is link to the pictures the customer sent us, in case anyone in the mood for a good scare. http://rock.nyigc.net/verizon/
