As a young guy who was (un)lucky enough to be exposed to punchdown terminals as a field technician for AT&T…

Fuck punchdowns and everyone who said “good enough for me” when deciding to adopt them.

On a brand new install? Sure it works great!

In a box that has been sitting in the rain for a little over a decade? No.
