I'm set to have cable installed for my internet. And, I've heard some horror stories about cable installers. Someone even asked me if I seen the movie called (Cableguy) or something like that. Now, no disrespect for anyone installing cable, because I know every profession has some employees that prefer to take shortcuts, instead of doing it the right way. But, what should I insist on, or watch out for?
I live in a bi-level home. There will be 2 hook-ups in the front part of the house, and 1 hook-up at the back of the house. The downstairs is finished, so they won't be able to run cable through floor joists.
I'm thinking, they will have to split it outside, and run two separate cables out front, and the one to the back.
I'm sure they do this all the time, but I don't want cable just draped or running sideways across the house. I want nice neat cables, and there are (shadow?) lines on the siding where the cable won't be so obvious.
I don't want the installer think he's dealing with some jerk (maybe I am!) telling them how to do their job. But hey, I got to live in this place.
Thanks!
