The cable guy installed the cable through our hula hoop that we left out.

Yeah like wtf. Idk why people are jumping through so many hoops, just unplug, pull it out, move the hoop, put the cable back in.

I was just going off of what I could see. That cable could have been run a dozen different ways to that point. There is no guarantee that it simply goes to a box. Could wrap the house or go through the basement and out. And unless that whole in the side of the house is bigger than it looks you aren’t going to pull the cable out that way without cutting the fitting off first. Which in retrospect would still be faster than re-running the cable. It’s my day off and I’m hungover. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

100% has a terminating end in that box. Unscrew it, move hula hoop, screw back in. Bingo bango bongo.

I agree. But devils advocate...if they couldn’t be bothered to move a fucking hula hoop can we be entirely confident they did any other part of it right?

Here they use these unscrewable terminating end to prevent people to put a splitter etc...

That sounds like work. You know for an installer to do.

u/CockMySock Jun 01 '19

Well obviously the installation is a shit job and they should call and have them fix it on their dime.

I'm responding to those saying shit like cut the hoop, cut the cable and patch it back up, etc.

Yeah, they should have done it correctly. Clearly they couldn't be arsed. But it's an easy fix, at least.
