'I mean, this is heavy freaking stuff here, and it's just floating around in the wind'

By Braden Bjella

A user on TikTok has gone viral after alleging that T-Mobile used
ratchet straps and "no other supports" to hold their cabling on a 5G
cellular tower.

In a video with over 595,000 views, user Cam shows the cables in
question. The 3G and 4G coaxial cables are held in place using ratchet
straps, while the new 5G cables appear to not be secured to the tower
at all, barring "the top strain relief," writes Cam.
