Back about 1998 or 1999, Kansas City rolled out DSL service. I lived downtown just about half a mile from the main office. As soon as I heard it was an option, I called and booked an install and managed to get a morning slot on the first day of availability. Fortunately, I may have been the very first customer in the city to get the service as it is very unlikely they would have driven past any other customers when they left the shop first thing. Unfortunately, I may have been the very first customer in the city to get the service because after 8 hours or so, it still wasn't working and my room was a mess with cables and equipment.
As the tech was working diligently, I picked up some of his paperwork. Paperwork with instructions. As he was finishing for the day with a promise to be back tomorrow to continue the install, I asked him if he had done Step 'X'. He said "no, they told us not to do that in training". So after he left, I did as his printed instruction sheet directed, and magically, it worked. He seemed irritated when he showed up the next day and told him I fixed it after he left.
