    Has been a problem since it rolled out. Some say it works fine, but a lot of people have discarded it

    Why would Spectrum cut ground wire?

    That's because they don't want former customers reconnecting themselves thinking they can get something for nothing.

    Why would Spectrum cut ground wire?

    I've asked my builder for help on this. My place is new construction and the builder is very good about advocating for new home owners. My area is not that large so I am hopeful the builder's electrician will be able to extract some info from someone they know personally at Spectrum. I will be...

    Why would Spectrum cut ground wire?

    The pedestal has a lock on it so I can't check that.

    Why would Spectrum cut ground wire?

    I also assume that is the standard procedure to prevent signal leakage from a cable that may or may not be terminated at the residence. This doesn't remove the Spectrum coax as a possible source of stray incoming current, and that's where this boggles. They did. See the photograph.

    Why would Spectrum cut ground wire?

    Im assuming its detached at the pedestal? But agree why didnt they keep the coax attached at the home? None of it adds up completely.

    Why would Spectrum cut ground wire?

    As I noted earlier, whenever a cable enters the home, its "ground" part must be earthed. The question remains as to why it was cut, given that the Spectrum cable is still connected.

    Why would Spectrum cut ground wire?

    The Spectrum hook-up points along the road look like green stumps that are 2 feet high and about a foot in diameter. About every 200 yards there are green boxes that are about 3 feet high, 2 feet wide and 4 feet long. My place is about 80 feet away from the nearest green box.

    Why would Spectrum cut ground wire?

    It may have been there to bleed off some voltage. You may have some high voltage close by? Transformer or switching box?

    Why would Spectrum cut ground wire?

    I'm not aware of any nearby power substations. Copilot says the nearest is in St. Louis, Michigan about 30 miles away

    Why would Spectrum cut ground wire?

    One side is blank, the print side reads line-for-line and is all caps.... WARNING DO NOT REMOVE THIS GROUND WIRE SHOULD IT BECOME LOOSE OR NEED TO BE REMOVED CONTACT LOCAL CABLE TV

    Why would Spectrum cut ground wire?

    The "right" thing to do would be to disconnect the red cable from the grounding block and walk away. What does the green plastic tag read?

    Why would Spectrum cut ground wire?

    I used to work at Firmi lab. They had 2 separated feeds at 350,000 volts coming in.( 2 different nuke plant feeds) When the ring was running the amperage at the sub station,went from 8-80 amps, you could hear it. Get close to the fence, feel it. The fence posts were grounded every 4 feet around...

    Why would Spectrum cut ground wire?

    Is your house located near a power substation? I have seen instances where high voltage transformer grounding can cause a significant voltage potential against grounds that were referenced elsewhere. A fundamental lesson in electronics is that ground is relative, and not an absolute.

    Why would Spectrum cut ground wire?

    I checked inside the Spectrum install box on the outdoor side of the house. All the cables are normal and the ground wire, which is green, is still connected. The cut is outside the install box between it and the connection points for the house ground. I looked in the basement anyway, since...

    But, but...even though you own rx's they replace them for free if they fail. They won't let you pay less and assume the risk yourself because that increases the chance that you'll cancel once faced with a hefty rx repair or replacement charge.
