How do the US telco's do Centrix if they don't install or maintain HC or the iwc drop from the floor closet to the cubicle?

Centrex is just a feature package that is added to a group of lines. The customer is still responsible for the routing of these lines to the final destination within the building.

Different from here in Manitoba where the telco still has the house cables and IWC in major buildings.
The customer has the option of buying the end set on their own or from the telco.

The customer has the option of buying the end set on their own or from the telco. We still maintain legacy Centrex lines for the fire department, hospitals and so forth... I have *never* installed a single one, though, which has to tell you something...they are most certainly going the way of dinosaurs, at least in my neck of the woods... BTW, I've got a fire department right around the corner from the CO, and blocks upon blocks of major hospitals three minutes away...and I'm talking in terms of walking distance...and all I've ever done was repair these poor oldies... :confused:

We have hundreds of pairs of old Ohio Bell house cable still in use in our office/plant. Even has the 'inventoried' stickers on it.

I was referring to old-time-dedicated Centrex loops, the usual code is 96CLNA****** in my neck of the woods...and yes, they most certainly do run on the same decrepit copper pairs...
