Not a brag at all. I only switched to bundle with direct TV and get the modem out of my guest room which is becoming my little girls room

I had Cox for $70 a month and direct TV basically threw in uverse for free

I thought Uverse was a TV provider? How do you bundle to TV providers?

Should never have allowed those neanderthal installers to drill anything in your house. Call ATT and tell them he fricked up the install and your want your wall patched.

He piggy backed with a coaxial that shares a wall in another room.



he's being lazy and doesn't want to run new cable. don't let him not do it. you didn't pay him to come piggyback somebody else's work. he'll be a bitch but you just have to be exact with what you want.

and he's lying if he says he doesn't have a bit to go through a stud.

I believe that's what they also call their interwebs as well.

So, the Uverse is for internet and you are using direct tv for satellite?

Now he says something about the AC unit in the way. He's running it the utility room now which I guess is better so I don't have to see that ugly arse box in my living room

Fire wall?

And if you're unhappy with his work now, don't let him do anything else.

Demand another installer.

I'd tell him thanks and good bye that you'll get in touch with ATT and ask for a new technicican. i wouldn't want someone cursing and hostile coming back in my home

again... he just doesn't want to take the time and extra cable to make it look right. it's all coming out of his pocket. don't let him leave till you're happy and don't let him talk you into being happy with something that you're not.

Don't think so. We started this shite off trying to go into the junction box behind the TV and he couldn't find the coaxial that was running through. Direct TV used an existing Cox coax and put a splitter on it so it was easy for them

I'd escort him out. Seriously. It's your place.

Demand another technician.

They did this to me in two different rooms. I called to customer service and made them make the guy come back out and put the hole in a more suitable place. I also got them to give me some $ to patch the other the holes they made.
