But the TELCO idiot proofed it by requiring #10 on all demarcs.

I'm using #10 gray telco ground wire from my bar to a cold water pipe.
I like that wire, even used some of it to hold wrenches in my toolbox (wrapped around a piece of EMT)

I have installed a ground bar on jobs with multiple demarcs using #6 from bar to power ground. #10 wire from ground bar to each demarc.

I will ground it using some #10 will see what happens Thursday. Last week they gave me an all day appointment and said be around to let them in. That somehow turned into an office connect. Called and they said check for dial tone it should be on. I said nobody connected the new wire on the pole. They should be there Thursday while I am working. Communication slipped somewhere after they dropped off a 600' spool of wire.
