  There's some videos on the AT&T Tech Channel on YouTube that show inside the CO, like this one for the "Speedy cutover service": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saRir95iIWk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saRir95iIWk

    TIL the origin of the term "cutover" for IT migrations. Fascinating!

    I really do hope y'all excuse my ignorance, but ... ... what part of the "switchover" process is this? That is to say ... ... I get that you have to cut to switch over but ... what would come next? Does the new system get spliced in? Is it already wired - pending just the cut? (Thus the speed with which it is done) ...

      the new system is already spliced in, but is electrically isolated. the old system can't be isolated like that so they have to physically cut the wires to it before they electrically connect the new system, which is the switch throw at the end of the cutover.

        Makes sense. Thanks!
