'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. https://www.dailydot.com/irl/t-mobile-flimsy-straps-5g-towers/ -- (Please remove QRM to send a reply to my private inbox.)

I wouldn't be surprised if that was temporary to hasten the 5G roll-out. Hopefully contractors will be rolling back through with permanent supports. If not, this publicity will probably be a kick in the seat for them. Either way, some people might be surprised how strong ratchet straps are. I once drove to Washington DC from eastern Ohio in a '65 Ford Galaxie with the frame *held together* in the rear with a heavy-duty ratchet strap.
