Who is Roger's contractor in London? The outfit that deals with customer drops? AEcon? How can I contact them directly?

I'm in London. St. Thomas is "close enough".

These contractors are not set up to be contacted by home-owners, which is why (again) I'm asking for their contact info.

If you find a way to contact those guys let me know... I've been waiting for Rogers to bury an unsightly temporary overhead cable since last October, and a neighbour of mine has waited over 5 years...

That's exactly why they aren't set up to be contacted by homeowners... you might have better luck stopping at a Rogers truck on the street and asking about the issue you have.

Those are two but I think there might be a couple more. However it is a third party contractor who does the burials so they might not be of any help as Rogers treats there contractor like mushrooms. (Feeds them crap and keeps them in the dark)

They do funeral services on the side?

The contractors are paid piece work by Rogers, and fall in and out of favour all the time.

They won't talk to you, because they don't get paid to talk to you. Talk to Roger's if there's a problem that you want/need addressed.

Can you elaborate more on the issue you want to discuss?

Presumably when they're paid by Rogers to perform some service work, and they don't complete the work, they would be responsive to me pointing it out to them.

Pretty much the same deal that BliZZardX mentioned.

A some-what new phenomena here in London is fly-by-night lawn aeration outfits that send out highschool kids to roam neighborhoods with walk-behind aerators rented from home despot.

My neighbor was apparently weak-willed and couldn't say no to a kid and the job ended up cutting his coax line. The contractor came a day or two later and strung a new line across my neighbor's house (along the gutter) and then down to my house and connected it to the box at my out-side demarc point. It's been like that for maybe a month now, and I want them to fix the line and remove this temporary drop.

Only a month? LOL....you're probably about 8-12 weeks away from getting that issue resolved....its a FIFO system I believe...benefits of living in an underground area me thinks...

Try a year... Or two. Rogers ran one of those temp lines up the street. It took two winters to rerun the cable underground, no matter how many times the homeowner complained.

Not really - they would be responsive to ROGERS talking to them about it; but not to you, because you aren't their customer... Complain to Rogers...

Nitz and DKS are right - they'll leave the temp in place until there's enough work in the area to send a plow crew around, and run a bunch of new drops... 3 months isn't at all abnormal.

Again, complain to Rogers - the contractor (or Roger's tech, because unless you were there when the temp was run, you have no way of knowing WHICH sub, if it was a sub at all) was paid to restore service to your neighbor. They've completed their task.

It's a different crew or sub that would plow in a replacement drop, and cut the sub from the temp to the replacement...

Well, coincidently, a crew came out today and fixed the problem and removed the temporary drop. I had not called anyone yet.

I believe it was LDS, not ramkey. Two guys in a pickup truck towing a big compressor. But what-ever they did, they just did some manual digging with shovels around the pedestal.

Coincidentally, Rogers replaced all the drops on our street too. Finally! Didn't see who the contractors were, but I heard it took about 4 hours.
