Do not be influenced by what other Ficsit® employees say about the spaghetti method, it works and has been used a lot of times throughout history.

This was the main tower for a telephone network. We didn't had multiplexing back then, so every customer needed his own independent line up to the exchange. The lines are visible because there's ice on them.
More images (from the Swedish museum of technology):
It wasn't multiplexing that was the issue. Each line still has its own pair of wires from the telephone exchange now.. The early lines were bare copper, not covered in plastic insulation. Each one had to be spaced out and passed over it's own ceramic insulator to stop it shorting out against the next wire.
It’s mostly fibre optic now. Our apartment building was retrofit with fibre optic lines right to the walls few years ago.
Yikes. I saw some old weird phone wires in a wood insulation once
Wow, thanks for the additional info!
