1 edit | Welcome to the world of deregulation. More than likely the "technician" just cut the wires without checking first if there were other ones already working on the inside wire. Or worse...
The inside wire belongs to the property owner. In this case, the inside wire was supporting more than one customer from more than one service. The cable guy either didn't check and accidentally cut the other subscribers out, or was lazy, didn't care and didn't want to run new wiring.
We see it too many times, and the subscriber gets billed for the f@#$ up. Bottom line is that the property owner needs to take charge and be aware of what's going on. On the flip side, if the company wants to be taken seriously, they need to investigate and fix any wrongs it did.
The correct way? The property owner needs to rewire the house so that each flat/room/apt/whatever has it's own wiring. It's called "home running" and it's now the code. That way the tech merely tones back to the network connections and ties down the appropriate wires.
Sorry the answer is not so glamorous or sensational. |
