I maintain a plant of 3500 lines. We run about 4-5 troubles a day on equipment that is, for the most part about 10 years old. Work orders vary. Some days we've got 3 dozen stations to work on, some days, none. We eliminate a lot of potential troubles with preventive maintenance.

Note - I only handle voice troubles, not data troubles, though we do installs on data cables.
