The requested picture after Spectrum came back out. They moved the box down, ran the conduit through the knockout, and put in a shorter cable so there wasn’t 50’ rolled up in there. They still need to bury the line so that’s why the main cable isn’t protected yet. Thanks to those who commented/helped on my last post.
Looks good
When spectrum came to wire in my new house I was at work and the guy called me asking how I wanted the coax ran since most people don’t want it on the exterior.
I told the guy I work for one of if not the largest network company in Texas. All I care about is that it’s ran clean, not going to make you crawl through the attic just make it clean as fuck.
Dude did an outstanding job I’m talking straight runs perfect 90’s and even drip loops holy shit Batman I called spectrum and raved about the guy. Then called him up and gave him a $50 tip. He ran it exactly to a friggin T how I would have done it.
Got him a job in the end making significantly more money with us than he did at spectrum.
They put the right connector on there too, looks good
I'd put some silicone around the liquid tight conduit and some duct seal in the open conduit around the fiber. Help keep bugs out an moisture.
A million times better!
Happy ending!
Post a link to this thread in the previous one. All those people in your original thread deserve to see this, but might not for whatever reason. Just reply to one of the many people begging for follow-up on the previous thread with a link to this one.
Got to give props to Spectrum on this one. They came out immediately and did right by you. It's surprising, and satisfying.
Also major props to the cabling experts in this sub for giving you all the words and ideas you needed to tell Spectrum to get such a good result. I honestly believe the cabling guys on here are changing so many families' lives for the better with their advice. It's one of the best free services on Reddit, yet still a secret.
Thanks for the follow up post!
I'm impressed they came back out so quick, but it definitely looks way better. And most importantly, they used the correct (SC APC) connector this time, so you don't lose a ton of light at the coupling 👍
Much better!
How fast is it actually?
Beautiful install!!!
Much better!
That looks way better
Looks much better.
Is a Holy Cross is necessary for working of a light (optical) networks? Or it is only needed for the Internet surfing?
