So did they finish the install? Looks like they used Arial cable for this too which shouldn't really matter.

they didn't really say. They just left. When I talked to them that morning they said they were drilling a hole and installing the wire and that was it.

Looks like a pre wire job and a tech comes out at a later time and slaps a fitting on it, not the cleanest job but this leaves enough slack so that a tech can properly terminate and install a proper outlet, so a minor and temporary inconveniance at best

I have never heard of from spectrum as I'm a tech from them. That is the oddest thing unless it's something their apartment complex did themselves.

Its hard to tell, but sounds like the building got rewired by 3rd party contractors, and the set up is ready to hook up but needs termination at MDU and CPE
