The Cable Guy

The Cable Guy came to our house today.



No, not Jim Carrey or even Larry, but Dave, the cable guy from Time Warner. Our internet service is provided by our cable company and recently, it has been spotty at best. So I called for service and they came last week and said they needed to replace the cable from the street to the house. Dave came today to replace it.



Here's Dave at the front corner of the house checking things out. He agreed it definitely needed replacing.



After Dave cut away the old cable, he ran new from the street and made the final connections. It's a long run to the street. Over 125'. If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you can see the new cable arching out to the street.



Here's Dave. job complete and bringing his ladder back and the old cable he cut away. He said it was spliced together in three spots and had different sizes of wire mixed together. Good job Dave. Thanks for the service and hopefully our internet will be more reliable.
