Re: Contracted installers for SL..... This generally seems to be the case when SL installs new lines to people's houses. What generally tends to happen, from my personal experience, is that they have one person install the line and someone else bury it at a later date. The problem is, while most of the time it gets buried quickly, one time the cable was laid out on the grass for nearly a month around here. |

| That seems incredibly shoddy to me, lol. I'll keep an eye out for another crew. Would really rather not have something happen to that line and have it mess up my connection, both off the same drop. |

This is fairly standard, saw it all the time with Comcast.

If you can't open it, you don't own it. |

| Wow, I have quite literally NEVER seen this happen before, lol. |
|
| This is standard procedure. You cannot dig without calling Missdig or whatever it is in your area. |

| Ya, I know that part. It's onecall or something like that down here. Just never seen them throw it out on the yard and be done.
Being that there is already a 1'' conduit for the phone line that runs directly to the corner of the house, could they not have used that instead? Or is there some rule SL has that says no |

They can't if the telco owns the conduit. |

| Conduit is from the property owner. We all rent on this road, lol, so I know that much.
Will just wait a few days and see what happens with it. Hopefully they don't mow it :/ |

I'd get a $5 can of marker paint, and paint that sucker bright orange to make sure. It'll wash off the grass over a short period, or the grass will grow and the painted part be cut. |
