Quakertown, PA | 3 days here Here in PA you give three days and you can dig on the 4th day. But the permit is a important part of the job. Cross a state road and your looking at 30 days before they will issue a permit. | |

| I use to see We use to find similar cable connections all the time back when I was doing land surveying. It was obviously stolen cable connection and this was before digital cable.
Interestingly you would expect to find cable theft rampant in lower and middle class neighborhoods. I would estimate 75 percent of those I discovered were in very wealthy neighborhoods, even gated communities. This even though about 95 percent of our time was spent surveying either rural areas, middle or low income neighborhoods and cities. | |

| | They need this in Baltimore City... The article is for Howard County which has always had its nose in the air when they tried to ban DBS services (DirectTV and Dish) with their no antenna rule in Columbia.
When I lived in Baltimore City, Comcast left a 100 foot run on the ground for my install. Turns out, my neighbors decided to tap off of that with a splitter and get free cable. Never noticed until my service went out went a crackhead stole the splitter by ripping the connections. This happened multiple times and Comcast did NOTHING!
It probably cost them more in stolen service and truck rolls than it would have been to bury it in the first place.

| Re: they just need to give the techs the time to do a good job a Who is going to hand dig that far? Suppose this temporary wire was placed in December, in 6" of snow. How would any utility or contractor bury in frozen ground?
What will happen, is jobs will be presurveyed, and service buried before any tv signal goes to the home.
So the consumer will wait for the buried line.
99% of the time, its a contractor that is given the job of burying services, and they do it their way, on their timetable. | |

| | Phone Co? I also see unburied twisted pair POTS phone temps all the time, too. Why is everyone just whining about the cable co in here? I'm sure you'll be super happy when the telephone/cable co says "Sorry, since your underground line went bad and the ground is frozen, we can't risk laying a 50' temporary line along your fence (in other words - out of the way) because of the law you so love and want. So no service until the weather clears and a crew can get in to the yard. And don't talk about satellite - I see those wires laying on the ground from post to house all the time. I'm sure the local gov't wants those fine fees also along with catv and telco. | |
