Re: BURY CABLE LINE

I can copy and paste your post. Exact same problem with my Comcast service. Everything but desirable. My cable has been exposed since November 2014. Still unresolved after multiple calls for service. I have a bunch of ticket #s here but still awaiting resolutio

I am sorry to hear about the trouble you are having with the unburried wired. I have reached out to the local group to see if we can get an update on this. -FC

  • I am moving and she has a tc and I do can I hook mine up to the same cable line

    I am moving into my friends apt and she has a TC hooked up her cable but I have one too that I want to use and tore my info on. Can it be done that two tc share one cable line?

    You can connect your TC to your friend's TC using an Ethernet cable and share the same Internet connection from the cable service.
    Do you plan to configure your TC to provide another wireless network for your use only?
    Or, do you plan to use your TC for backups only and use the existing wireless network at the apartment?

  • Verizon has not buried cable -it's been 3 months!

    Had Verizon service installed June 1. It is now September 11. The cable running to the box outside my home stretches across 6 driveways. People are tripping over it and complaining (rightly so).  A trench was dug back in July but nothing since then.  Opened ticket with Verizon but no response yet.  Why would they leave this cable in such a manner for over three months? I wouldn't blame one of my nieghbors for just yanking the thing out!

    I am not a Verizon customer, so I can't get past your phone support system OR entire this online as a residential customer. That is why I did it through the Community website option. 
    The issue:
    Sometime in the last year, a large buried cable marker to mark cable runalong Textile Road, west of Lohr Road, south of Ann Arbor, MIchigan was hit by a vehicle.
    The marker is approximately 5 feet long, and blows around into the road when the weather gets bad. Who should I contact to have a maintenance crew replace this marker (outside of our subdivision)? It is dangerous to roll into the road, and also should be re-installed vertically.
    The headings on the marker state that it was installed by Verizon.
    This is  a general public safety issue involving Verizon marked equipment.

  • Dedicated line vs. shared (cable) line and downloa...

    I am moving to an urban neighborhood that has no fiberoptic cable. My local Verizon high-speed Internet sales representative tells me that the best he can offer me is a dedicated line (copper) with a guaranteed download speed of just over 3Mbps and a guaranteed upload speed of 1Mbps. He insists that, because the speed on a dedicated line does not fluctuate with usage the way a cable line does, I will have no trouble with Skype video calling for my business despite Skype's published minimum requirement for HD video calling being higher: 1.2Mbps download/upload speed (1.5 recommended). He says that Skype's recommendations are for shared lines on which the speed fluctuates. Is he mistaken?

    If you can't get fiber optic in your area I would recommend Cable over ADSL.  ADSL providers can't give you the upload/download speeds that Cable/Fiber can.  Years ago I actually got off DSL once my supposedly non-shared connection was getting overloaded at the local DSLAM during prime time hours and beyond (6pm - 1am) so in my experience I had "sharing' issues on my "dedicated" line.   With all shared connections it's going to depend on your area.  I personally would go the Cable route first, get the higher bandwidth and see how things work for you.  I would recommend DSL only if Cable could not provide you with consistent speeds or stability in your area.  One exception to that would be if  VDSL was offered in your area for a decent rate but you have to be very close to the main hub.  If you are using Cable for business it might be worth it to inquire about the advantages of Cable for business rather than for home.  They may have a higher guaranteed uptime (lower downtime or repair turnaround time)  or other dedicated options to ensure your business doesn't suffer from outages should they accur.

  • Damage caused by AT&T installing cable line in my front yard

    I am out of town and just received video from my neighbors showing huge equipment parked in my front yard on top of my sprinkler system heads, shrubs, mulch, etc. My front yard is destroyed. My neighbors asked who the workers were and they responded that they work for AT &T and were installing a cable line thru my yard and down the street. I am not a customer of this internet provider and am outraged to not have been given any prior notice that this was taking place. I understand that utility companies have the right of way to certain easements. However, they must repair any damage they cause. I need a contact name and number in Columbia, South Carolina to discuss repairing the significant damage caused by AT&T. If someone from AT&T is monitoring this blog please reply to my message. Thank you

    That is not necessarily true if the damage structures were located in an easement.  Also, no prior notice is needed for a utility company to perform work in an easement, and a homeowner cannot block access to an easement.
    You can send a PM to AT&T Customer Care and someone will contact you about this issue.

  • Cables need to be buried

    Hello -- Could you please advise the best email to write to request cable lines be buried in my backyard. They are 3 verizon fios installed loops protruding from the ground. For one thing, kids are playing there and going to rip them out.  I've mentioned this to customer service on the phone several times, but they haven't gotten anyone out here to bury the cable lines. I would rather write than call someone (i wind up on the phone forever, and it never seems to fix this issue).  Thank you. 

    This is mainly a peer to perr support forum (although you may get an admin to help out).
    Verizon doesn't normally do thigns via email.
    You can try twitter (@verizonsupport).
    If a forum member gives an answer you like, give them the Kudos they deserve. If a member gives you the answer to your question, mark the answer as Accepted Solution so others can see the solution to the problem.

  • How do I connect my time capsule to a cable internet line?

    I just bought a time capsule and I need to know how to connect it to a cable line.

    Plug the cable modem into the TC WAN port.. the one with the o symbol above it. Turn off the cable modem.. and the rest of the network.. wait.. 1min  (if it doesn't work try 15min, 1 hour then overnight).. restart the cable modem then restart the TC after 2 min delay.

  • Comcast dug up my lawn to bury my neighbor's cable

    I had comxast for years. My neighbor must have switched to comcast a month ago, because some comcast guys connected a line from my house to my neighbors'. The line was just left sitting outside for a whole month, and today, comcast came and dug through MY front lawn to bury the line leading to my neighbor's house. Does anyone know who I can contact for this? The scar is pretty huge and noticeable. When I call, customer service says all he has is a $10 credit he can apply to my account, but this definitely is not something that $10 can settle. It is also so directly across my lawn that easement can be an issue.
    thanks

    Hello GICHAWA,
    I can actually have someone call you directly instead of you trying to figure that out on your own. I've contacted your local area market about what happened. They will get in contact with you about this and also schedule a time to come out and resolve any issues. 
    Thank You

  • AirPort interference with cable TV lines

    After months and months of problems with our digital cable Time Warner came up with a new issue Iv never heard before. I get both digital cable and internet via cable. Today when they tested the lines due to problems they discovered that when my AirPort Express 802.11n is on and connected to the cable modem. That it's giving big feed back into the cable line. Tomorrow they are going to look into it again, but I wanted to see if anyone has had a similar problem.
    Would the AirPort ever feedback into the cable line and modem so that it effected both the internet and digital line for the TV? I know that some wi-fi can effect other wireless equipment such as wireless phones in the house. But, I'd never heard that it could effect other things like the cable line itself.
    Worst part is that when the AirPort was disconnected and turned off. You really could see a BIG spike in the line meter reading of the cable company.
    Is this something new or is there a way to stop the effect?

    Actually you're correct in that both the high speed modem and my AirPort Express are plugged into the same power strip. I keep them separated into the power strip to protect both from any power surges. It never crossed my mind that by having the 2 in the same power strip it might have some odd effect. But, when Time Warner managers come out today to take another look into things I'll move the plugs to different places to see if there is a change.
    I know the AirPort Express 802.11n does make noise on our land line wireless phones. Just never had any idea that it might have any effect on our digital TV signals.
    The 2 guys that were out here yesterday were here for 3 hours trying to find a reason for the problems. Since they didn't know much about the high speed modem I heard they call their tech support people. In their exact words " There is a drop of 2 full bars when the modem is plugged into the Apple AirPort." They even changed modems to see if it was the issue, but it was the same thing. I just didn't understand why they would be losing signal or getting a feed back onto the cable line if the modem was plugged into my AirPort.
    Might mean that I have to dump my AirPort or leave it off and unplugged just to watch TV.
    It's a mystery to me . . .

  • Exposed cable on our property

    A Comcast cable was severed on our property on or around August 1st. Comcast came out to repair the line, but has left around 15 feet of cable unburried and exposed. This is a safety hazard as it is very close to the road, in the way for lawn maintenance and unsightly. We have been trying for a month now, to get someone out here to bury the cable and repair the damage they have left to our lawn as they tore up the sod and left a large pile of dirt and grass. My husband has made many phone calls over the month only to find out that his call tickets have been closed, cancelled or never recorded. Please help!!!,

    The other utility companies have been out twice already to mark the other utility lines! We have spray paint and little flags all the way down the street marking the lines. The problem is that they repaired a cut cable and didn't bury it back underground. The utilities were already marked at that time also! I don't understand why we've placed 8 work orders already and nothing!
    Yeah, that happens sometimes, Comcast can be really bad at internal communications. What is happening is that you are calling in and the phone reps are just scheduling install techs to come out and bury the line (it's called a "drop"), but it's something that techs don' typically do. No doubt they are just telling their supervisors that they couldn't complete the job. 
    The drop should not be buried, it should be replaced, which is probably why the tech that made the repairs, but didn't re-bury that section. Comcast's policy is to replace any damaged drops. 
    The best way to get this resolved is to contact the We Can Help Team ([email protected]) They will motivate your local system to get the situation resolved and will follow up with you to make sure everything is completed to your satisfaction.
    Let us know if you don't hear from anyone in a day or two.

  • Network bridging two cable connections. Worth it?

    I tend to be a bit (okay excessively) power hungry. My apartment complex provides a free shared wireless cable connection. I found it to be not reliable with uptime and was forced to get a dedicated cable line for myself.
    Then I had this thought: when there are times when this wireless and free connection is up and running, would it be worth it to bridge the two connections on my desktop? One would be wired, the other wireless. I haven't yet purchased the wireless card since I'd like some input on this first. Both are cable connections at around 6 mbps (Comcast). I'm fairly savvy with networks however not so much on this concept of bridging in home computing. I use the Internet for large downloads, FTP, SSH, and web design, and I'm just power hungry , so I'm curious what the bandwidth and speed increases would be on this.
    My desktop is very powerful and new, if that were to at all be a concern. Any thoughts, experiences, or input on this?

    I've done a bit of searching and it seems that downloading large files , ftp and such don't benefit from this as they only can make one connection.
    Everyhting that uses multiple connections like p2p should benefit from it.
    If you're going to use this, you should consider installing a downloadmanager like prozilla or aria / aria2.
    Hmm, me thinks I'll play around with it, thanks!

  • Ethernet Cable Not Found

    I'm trying to connect my brand new iBook 1.33GHz to the internet via a Motorola Surfboard cable modem using an ethernet connection.
    All wires and cables are hooked up as per the directions that came up with the set up kit, and the modem appears to be receiving transmission from the cable line as the proper lights are lit.
    When I try installing the software I keep getting an error message that tells me that the computer cannot communicate with the cable modem. I tried going into my Network settings to specifically put in that it is to look for the ethernet connection first, it tells me that there is no ethernet cable connected to the computer even though it is connected.
    I had been using AOL for a week or two while waiting for the cable modem to arrive. I uninstalled it before attempting to configure the cable modem, but is it possible that it is causing the problems with the ethernet now?
    I'm really at a loss, and the cable start up kit is no help at all. All it keeps telling me it to be sure that I have set up my connections according to their little picture, which they are.
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    It seems to be a problem with the cable modem itself. I worked through the same steps with Apple Support today, with no change in the results. They suggested I take my iBook over to my local CompUSA and have them see if they could get a ethernet connection. Ran it over there, and they had no problems getting a connection via the ethernet port.
    My service provider tried a few things on their end. They are able to communicate with the modem, but it still won't communicate with my computer. They are going to swap it out for me,so hopefully that will take care of the problem.

  • Can MoCA Cable Adapters Be Used To Connect Ethernet to Apple TV?

    I don't want to run a new 50'-60' ethernet line throughout the house (through the basement), to connect an ethernet line from my 2013 iMac Modem to the Apple TV …. and was wondering if anyone has experience using the newer MoCA cable line adapters for their ethernet extensions?
    Below is the MoCA adapter I am considering using:
    ActionTec MoCA Cable/Ethernet Adapter(s)

    After talking with others, I'm dropping the whole ActionTec MoCA interest ….
    … and going for a simple Ethernet switch device, and running inexpensive Cat6 RJ45 cable from the iMac/Modem location to the Apple TV, across the house. Too much trouble, time consuming, and potential headaches wiring in and justifying the cost of the ActionTec's MoCA adapters. No doubt would have hours of trouble getting the MoCA adapters up and running. Besides, also read some bad reviews on Amazon about ActionTec Tech Support, and ActionTec MoCA adapter reliability over time.
    The KeeBox SGE05 5-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch (below/at Amazon), should do the trick …. along with picking up about 40'-50' of inexpensive Cat6 RJ45 cable.  I'll just be running it along the same internet cable line TimeWarner put in to my iMac & Internet Modem.
                                               KeeBox SGE05 5-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch
                                            http://www.keebox.com/products/productdetail.asp?prod=100_SGE05&cat=80
    http://www.amazon.com/KEEBOX-SGE05-1000Mbps-Gigabit-Ethernet/dp/B004FM58MO/ref=s r_1_14?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1428282923&sr=1-…
                                                                  Standard Cat6 RJ45 Ethernet Cable (All Colors)
        http://www.amazon.com/Cat6-Networking-Ethernet-Patch-Cable/dp/B00BEX6218/ref=sr_ 1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1428283894…
                                                                            Found Everywhere (All Colors)
    So for around $25 bucks total, versus $125.00 (+/-) for (2) MoCA Adapters ….. and a 15-30 minutes installing the CAT6 cable along the same TimeWarner Internet cable line from my iMac…. I'd be done!
    Sometime "keeping it simple" (KISS) is still the best method.

  • IPhone 5 interferring with my Comcast cable tv.

    When I send or receive a text ,turn phone on or off, answer or receive a phone call - my cable goes out momentarily. The cable guy was just here and confirmed this, he called his supervisor and this is the first Comcast has seen or heard of this problem.  It only interferes with the small cable box.  The main tv and big cable box are not affected. 

    Comcast was just here again.  He had a special tool, tightened all cable lines- everywhere! Now it seems to be better, still some pixelation when I make or receive a phone call.  But at least it isn't going to black screen.  Comcast is also going to replace the outside cable from a 6 to a 12 , some kind of fiber that is bigger.  He thinks this will resolve the remaining problem.
