Richmond Cable Utility Box CAT-6 Wires in House
 
Wondering why all the blue CAT-6 wires in the utility box in the garage are loose and hanging inside the utility box. Does The Villages expect the homeowner hire a company to get these ready for use?

Yes

You need to pick a service. They will hook the system up

You think Comcast or Spectrum is going to finish the job which IMHO The Villages should have performed?

Yes. That is exactly what they are going to do.

We will see what happens. Not sure why the cable company would be responsible for connecting all of the CAT-6 lines inside the house.

I don't think most people use the Cat6 cables. Most use the wifi from their internet provider or add their own router to the cable modem. What are you planning on using it for?

I like the lightning fast speed when my laptop is connected directly to the cable modem.

Other than you like to be tethered, how was your walkthrough? You seemed to be upset about the roads, light fixtures, and such before your closing. Did you have many thing to immediately fix in the first 7 days? How long is your punch list to be fixed prior to one year? Did you like the private inspection you hired?

We are still upset about the road situation.

i spec'd out the Cat 6 wall locations through out the house, and they wired the ends in the wiring closet as if they were phone jacks. That was a call to warranty, and warranty didn't believe me, so they sent galaxy out and I helped them wire the closet correctly, i now have two wiring closets as all the equipment didn't fit into a single one, and the wifi access point is on the ceiling in the middle of the house, where everyone can see it and i get great house coverage.

Yes. I bought a crimping tool, Cat6 cable connectors, and an Ethernet switch from Amazon and did it myself.
