I like to say we have a brain, so use it.
[otherwise, I'd still be stone deaf and have people throwing things at me to get my attention](ugh... how do so many people wind up in IT when they and/or their brains don't work!)

Friggin' FINALLY got Comcrap to come out and replace the cable between the pole and my house. They had been trying to charge me to send a tech, I told them to shove that nonsense because I know exactly what the issue is. Turns out I was 1000% correct, so no charge for the tech call.

I would still keep an eye on your bill.

I always do, because I certainly expect them to try it. Also going to make sure the 2 weeks sans connection are properly credited.

Lightning struck 2 houses down, zapped the cable all the way to the house (as well as my modem and wifi router). When a new modem can't get a signal, I know what the issue is. Especially when there is no "inside wiring"... the cable comes from the pole to the corner of my roof, then down to floor level, where the previous owners just drilled a hole through the wall and stuck the coax through. Literally 2 feet of coax sticking out of the baseboard.

If you want to fix it right, now's the time, lol.

I'll probably put in a jack plate, but I'll still have a hole in the wall.

A little drywall mud would patch the hole.

Lol direct from the pole through a hole in the wall? Not even grounded?
If that's the case, they owe you a modem, yes?

If I had been renting one of theirs, sure. My Surfboard was getting a bit long in the tooth anyway.

Mine was a 4 or 5 year old Arris. But my new one is DOCSIS 3.1 and all that good stuff.

Thought I'd put some twitch.tv on in the background, and apparently everybody is playing the new expansion to World of Warcraft Online.
