This want their fault and I feel for them.

Working in telecommunications and we get a call from a customer that they are moving premises in 3 months time. They want us to check the place out of we can get a service in there. All goes well, time table for install goes out and we rock up the day after they get the keys, only to find the previous tenant took ALL the copper cables with them. Now when I say all, I mean ALL. Data, telephony, and power were stripped out all the way back to the dmarc point of the building.

They were fucking pissed. The lease for the existing place ran out about 3 weeks after the got the keys to the new place.
