Re: A reality check for do-it-yourselfers...
One of the main problems with "do-it-yourself" work is poorly designed fittings/cable/etc. Most customers have no idea about signal leakage, or ingress issues for that matter. Even 1 improper fitting can cause a major leak that will either a) be padded down at the tap so the signal hitting your home will be very low, causing you to need a service call so they can properly find and fix the problem. Or b) cause your connection to be disconnected completely. While im happy to see people save money and do things themselves, I just want to warn people that it might end up costing you more money than you thought. Ive had to fix more than enough customer installed cable to know that its definately not a good idea usually. |
