Horrible Install

[MikeD-C05]

AGREE!!! You need to babysit some of these installers!!! when we had dtv the installer wanted to do a wireless setup with the C61K mini's .. i had to tell him that he was going to his job the right way or to GTFO and that i was not spending money for a wireless setup that would have problems later on. needless to say i pissed in his cherrios he didn't like that!!! and if i remember right the C61K's are hardwired only

I always baby sit any workman I have to any service at my house. It is the only way to guarantee they don't do stupid crap like that installer did. I talk to them and ask questions and stay engaged the entire time they are at the house. It has worked for me over the years. Learned it from my mom. I used to think she was being nosey, but she knows when they are trying to cheap out and not do the work. She calls them on it before they can leave the house.

The other thing is, like any contractor, before I'd left a house, I took the customer out to see the work I did

Exactly, and c. systematically, er, systemically (issues were always "systemic") kicked us all in the teeth. Now he's on tv with Cantey talking about how he'll send these knuckleheads, er, technicians, to your home to switch your mobile phone service. Wonder if any local dealers are being used for that
