re: Spectrum wants to lay cable on my property

Make a deal with them.

They can run the cable if they run fiber optic cable directly to your house. In addition, you get to have all the channels, including premium channels, DVR, unlimited TVs, and the fastest internet for free for as long as their cable is on your property.

Also, include a clause in the contract that the deal is transferable to any future entity that takes possession of the fiber optic cable over from Spectrum. (That means if Xfinity buys Specturm, Xfinity has to honor your deal for free channels and internet.)

Lastly, like an SEC Coaches Contract, include a buy out clause that starts at a million dollars and deprecieates over 50 years. Each time a new cable is laid, a the buy out depreciation resets.

Upon sale to a 3rd party or transfer of title of the land to your children after your natural death, the contract becomes null and the kiddos will have to pay for their own cable.
