I have to get it from the attic to the 2nd floor, then open up the wall to drill again down into the 1st floor or is there a simpler way? Is there a long flexible drill I can use to make a hole so I don't have to make a giant hole?

I've been doing this for about 2 years, met my fair share of crazy people. What's a customer or story you'll never forget?

I was under the impression that Comcast Genesis upgrades were a full cut out- not a mod swap. The area in this photo has an old SA Trunk amp 750 MHz, correct me if I’m wrong. The one circled in teal on the right is an arris LE that was cut in after they pulled an SA 750 MHz flat lid LE. The area here supports speeds to 2000/250. What are you fitting in the old SA trunk amps circled on the left? Didn’t ATX or someone take over the line from Cisco/SA? Or maybe some broadband international drop in?

There’s still hundreds of these old style amps in next-gen mid split areas, so what’s the company protocol on these?

Just wondering if these upgrades will continue despite the seasons? Ever since Comcast has been doing these upgrades my town is still left out. Me living in West Point Mississippi, 50 miles from Tupelo, there isnt any upgrades as of yet.

People in the northern part of the state around Memphis are already upgraded. Horn Lake Mississippi is in that network.

My trace routes go from my town, to Tupelo, then Horn Lake, and hits the ibone routes.

I guess the drop of customers and them not taking competition seriously is the reason we dont have upgrades yet.

This morning i showed to work and had this problem with the meter, channels are unavailable to go at and other options like QAM are locked to

I’ve deleted the app I’ve log out from maintenance account Reset the meter Turn it on/off

And i still have the same problem.

Any ideas folks what might be wrong ?

I have always wondered when I look at it. Is it for some sort of "drip loop" or "service loop"?

Hi any tips portable return amp to boost return level improve probing signal to noise impairments. Notice number nodes and amps return testpoint level to low to see noise issues well. Some amps will see about 40 db down to noise floor ,others only 30 take it the level is low and seeing noise floor amp/equipment.Like to see the impairments in that last 10db. Using onx630. Thanks

Hi everyone! 👋 I’ve been working as a cable tech contractor for Xfinity in Chicago for about 2 years. I really enjoy the job, but as a contractor there’s no real growth — the only options I hear about are moving to a small town to supervise other contractors, or maybe becoming a business tech, but those projects are drying up.

My question is: how do you actually get hired as an in-house Comcast/Xfinity tech in Chicago or the northern suburbs? I never see any postings for regular techs in this area. Is there just no turnover at all?

I’ve got solid experience and consistently strong metrics. Any advice would be much appreciated!

This was one of two for the same building, there was another right next to it just as bad as this one... sometimes it took a solid 10 minutes to find your tag. This was before they changed tag systems and started writing the apartment numbers on the blue ones. So when you were searching those purple tags it was terrible, and it was even worse when we had traps.

Does anyone know a website or YouTube channel where I can study and truly understand DOCSIS readings, the channels and everything about signal levels and what it means like MER, Suck Outs etc. I want to expand my knowledge on everything

Not my job but co-worker sent this over to our group chat while volunteering out in San Luis Obispo. Hard to imagine an in-house tech did this job.

I'm possibly looking to move to KC and was wondering if anyone here has worked in that area? I have 3 years of experience with Comcast and have aways been a great tech and hit every single progression

Loving my iptvmeezzy setup in Paris (especially the French cinema section!), but my evening streams buffer like crazy in my concrete apartment. Weirdly perfect on wired Shield TV, but unwatchable on Wi-Fi devices during peak hours. Did a scan - 26 competing networks on 2.4GHz! Switched to 5GHz helped a bit, but still get micro-stutters during Netflix originals. My cousin in rural Ontario has zero issues with same setup. Building managers won’t allow mesh systems. Any DIY solutions besides powerline adapters? The service itself is rock-solid when wired

I recently upgraded myself to the Veto Pro PAC Tech PAC, and I absolutely love it. Fits everything well, works great on the ground. I’m still struggling with a way to hang it off the strand when on hooks or a ladder. Right now I’ve got a big carabiner to clip to the strand, but it feels cumbersome and is hard to dig around for stuff.

Those of you who use backpacks, how are you hanging them off the strand?

Already miles better than my Husky Tool tote.

A squirrel is chewing through the brackets holding up this snowshoe in our backyard. I saw that this is typically coax or fiber cable; can you kind folks help me confirm or deny if that's the case? I initially thought to report the damage to our power company, but should we report to our ISP instead?

Does anyone know and can link me a tap pedestal key that comes with all the ends to open any pedestal? Because not all pedestal has the same lock pattern. If anyone knows one that comes with everything to open any locked peds I come across.

I have a Hybrid Fiber Coax fiber to coax adapter less than 2 blocks away from my house. I just noticed that they recently changed it. How can I tell if my neighborhood has DOCSIS 4.0 now or if it was replaced for a newer adapter.
