I don't know how service gets to your home if not one of those two. |
Re: buried service
The adventure. Our home is 9 years old. Neighbor having a swimming pool put in they cut the cable. Repair was like an adventure of the three stooges. I told them what the problem was. Waited several days without, triple play, no internet, no phone, no TV, for them to send somebody. It is a SUBCONTRACTOR. He said what I told them, the cable was cut. He could only repair the home to the line. Several days later they sent the line guys. They ran a cable to the box crossing two neighbors property but didn't bury it. Can't help it. Did they not call the third contractor to bury the wire? A neighbor called me complaining about an unburied cable. I assumed it was trash just left behind and told him to cut it and toss it. We were again without cable service for days. Oh and our cable is black. One of the many repair guys told me it is the wrong cable to bury. The proper cable to bury is brown. Has been working for 3-4 years now.
I've wondered before THE VILLAGES is far more powerful than any one customer. I expect if we bought together we would get both lower rates and better service.
