I agree with this in principle.  In practice, I've never had an 
intermittent Hosa, but I do take good care with them (no yanking by 
the wire).  Curiously, I did have an intermitant .com cable, which I 
opend up and re-soldered.

BTW, I've only had the Hosas for not quite two years.  I can't speak 
to their longevity.  Can't find the 3' version anymore.
