1. I don't have the answer to that one.
2. I would recommend individual POE filters on each line instead.
3. The cable coming into the tap is likely 625. It's hard line distribution cable. The fittings used are specialized and not easy to install.
No, it means that subs are often willing to do unsafe things to get the job in because they are usually only answerable to themselves when it comes to safety, whereas company techs have to follow OSHA regulations or the company can get fined and/or sued..
Very simple. A lot of those are either old installs, they were installed by retailers, or both. Retailers can do whatever the hell they want. It's a different story with company techs. They have safety regulations thatr have to be followed. Not just for the safety of the tech, but for liability...
I doubt that has anything to do with the contracting companies Comcast uses for installation. I work for one of them, and it would make no difference to us what changes were made in the channel lineup.
I've had a Comcast X1 system for a year now, and I love it. Especially since they rolled out the cloud DVR service. My DVR space quadrupled overnight. :D
