Laying cable
Apr 18, 2008
Post a comment
Last year, I tried to get Comcast to install their cable-based internet in my apartment. I made the appointment, took the time off work and waited for the guy to show up.He was a really friendly guy and made a good attempt at hooking me up, but it seems when the owners of the building remodelled, they embedded the cable Comcast needed access to inside the dry wall. The guy kept on saying that he could find the RCN cable, but not the Comcast one.I gave up and just got a slower mobile broadband card. This is great for a lot of things, but to hook my Xbox 360 and Wii up, I have to connect on my MacBook Pro then link via Wi-Fi or ethernet. It's cumbersome.Recently, RCN were in our building trying to drum up business, so I thought I would try them out. I investigated their packages and eventually ordered their 5MB internet service, plus their premium cable TV package with an HD/DVR receiver.The man came tonight and started prodding around inside the aerial thingy in the wall. After doing his tests, he first concluded that the cable coming into our apartment was Comcast, not RCN. Uh. Of course, he soon realised it was neither - it was the crappy free TV we get throughout our building.After talking with the doorman of the building and his supervisor, he is coming back tomorrow to make a hole in the wall outside our apartment to reconnect the RCN cable to our aerial socket and give me the internet and TV gubbins I've ordered.
