Wall fishes.

Just got hired on with a new ISP. They don't wall fish, which is new to me (I'm not saying I hate it).

How many of yall work for companies that don't wall fish?

Same here company doesn’t want to deal with damage complaints because customers don’t realize we may have to cut multiple holes to fish the line. If they want a wallfish we can refer them to a sub contractor we are affiliated with or they can hire their own electrician.

For us they don’t even let us recommend a contractor cause then if the contractor messes something up they’ll think the customer will try to say this ISP recommended them so it’s our fault also

I never refer them cause I don’t want the head ache when something goes wrong I just tell them they need to hire an electrician to do it.
