is mainline cable waterproof?

Wow, that is one unique "house"! If all you want is basic cable and 1.5mbps speed, satellite would be much easier to subscribe to (for both TV and internet), since you are not wanting the fast speeds. And plus, it wouldn't cost you thousands for them to [possibly] run cable out there.

I wonder if I can get Comcast on the moon.

Great house! First, call the local Franchise authority because Comcast might be OBLIGATED to run cable to your new house.

If not, VOTE WITH YOUR POCKET and get them out of your community!!

I would avoid the basement in this situation. If you are dead stuck on them bringing in the line in the basement then ensure they seal the entry point.
Cable is waterproof, they should use electrical tape at least on the barrels if there are any exterior connections to be made. And with that much cable there will be some exterior connections.

Best of luck! Since cable and internet are a god given right you should have no issue getting this taken care of!

Being separated from everything, I would think at some point, boredom would take hold and you will want faster speeds, so I think SAT is not a good long-term option. In general, though, there's not much storage space, but at least you won't need a lawn mower or a snow thrower. Doesn't seem to have a garage. I would also be wary of any neighbors you do have. Neighborhoods like this tend to attract partiers and things just being dumped.

why are you buying a lighthouse? Did you look into hurricane insurance? Back to the subject... I don't know if comcast would hire divers to run cable underwater plus wouldn't they have to get permits from the federal government to do that?
Is this guy a troll by any chance?

mikedz4,

Lighten up, we're just having fun.

Dude that house is a great bugout house! Man when the zombie Apocalypse hits I'd love to be there. You even have a deck where you can blow away anyone who comes within a 20 foot radius, lol. But you'll definitely need cable and HSI in between trespassers.

Eh, go all starship troopers with it and install a electrified fence field that once they cross there zapped instantly.

reply to obckilroy
how do they get electric or telephone there?

Bath's not available? Guess you just pee off the deck or hang your rump off the railing?

Wow that's interesting. If you would install a bathroom, or yet alone how would the kitchen work? Sewer lines just dump into the ocean? Water, does it go through some kind of desalination process and super clean filtering system?

thats awesome

Just lay some fiber like they do in the ocean, add in a node, a tap and a power supply and you're all set!

About 60 miles down the bay from me...

reply to obckilroy
power supply? does that mean I could run my lights on Comcast's dime??

reply to obckilroy
I think the only fiber underwater will be the sh**s you take off the balcony.

reply to obckilroy

Optics? that sounds cool.
Would comcast pay for it if I signed a year long contract?
Also how bright is the light, it wouldn't keep me awake at night would it?

I think your chances of having Comcast do anything here are slim to none....

You might want to check is TiSP is available in your area »www.google.com/tisp/

All jokeing aside, as said before your best bet is to contact your local goverment and find out about the franchise agreement.
