I see you man good work bro. Cable gang !!
Thank you bro I appreciate salute ✊🏾💯💪🏾💪🏾
Oh, shit! Cable Guy Chronicles. I think this job is one of the job that follows other technitian.
Bet most of the people watching this are techs or former techs, like me. Spectrum, Frontier, and AT&T here.
a true cable tech man. im on a binge of these! lol keep it up fun to watch
Appreciate that bro 💪🏾💪🏾💯 glad you enjoy the content I definitely got more on the way
To make you life easier just put new line in p hook hole then tie off new line to old line it will keep your line out of the road. Do this in Cali in some of the busiest roads in LA. Keep the videos going bro. Like learning new skills and ways of doing things from anyone who knows what they’re doing. And you can tell you got a strong head on your shoulders
👍🏻for work ethic. This man will be CEO one day even if he had no degree. God will make a way.
Great work man I’m about to start working being an installer and you videos is helping me
In-house Comcast tech here from Washington State. Pretty awesome to see these vids!! You must have some insane tnps scores!!
thank you for doing these videos bro. just started as a cable tech
Great video been thinking about being a cable tech rather then college thanks for the insight.
I'd say go to college if you want to go for something serious. This job is alright and pays decent but I think after a few years I'll want out.
It's a cool job to get your feet wet definitely. You learn a lot skills and people skills.
@@Biddybalboaim in nursing skool to be a rn, ik the payout can be good but i feel miserable while doing it. When i was an assistant tech/handyman for my uncle I enjoyed it and was happy in the work i was producing. He offered me to be apart of their new travel technician program that offers alot of promotions and incentives. I feel like this would be my next step in life. I hope im right
I’m a cable tech contractor love the energy and content
I was a contractor for Comcast. I was on the construction side. Kind of miss the work, but definitely don't miss burying drops. I was doing warm housing at the end which really sucked.
Just started doing cable tech here in Texas learning some stuff watching you same stuff my trainer telling me about doing drops
How do you like it?
I’m so glad we have moca ground blocks now! 😅
Good call on the rg11 upgrade I do any over 200ft
Keep going , you help me out a lot
Great job!!
They don't give you guys the B9 outdoor boxes? I know those are outdoor fittings but i've seen water damage in those areas with them. That's why our sup & boss would have us install those and replace drops or outside cables with splices. They ususally only wanted the splitters in that box to keep future diagnosis simpler instead of taking short cuts.
Ima have a couple of my guys sub to you we working cable and fiber so we know the struggles
I appreciate that bro salute 💯 and yeah the struggle is real 😂✊🏾💪🏾
This make me miss contracting soo much, good times. Good on you for being a good tech!
Appreciate that bro thanks for viewing the content 💪🏾💪🏾💯
Former time Warner cable tech. What’s your total repair time allocation? We had to have like 10-15 calls a day as well as 3-5 sales IIRC.
You should join the IBEW. Be an inside wireman
Kudos to you comcast guy did mine didnt ground mine I had to my self
I've been a cable technician for 13 years and u put me to shame young tech back in 2007 it was alot easier to be a technician now all this new technology make it more time consuming
Why didn’t you add a house box to house the ground block connections
Why don’t you used a safety harness?
i'm a new cable technician and taking some notes from your work if that's okay with you
5:43 that’s a sick truck - A fellow cable guy
nice work, but are you working alone ?
Let’s gooooo!!!! episode 5 is out!!!!!!!!
Eric Schlaeg yes sir hope you enjoy it bro 💯
Tech in training here. Haven’t had to use the ladder yet. Any tips on getting over fear of heights?
Yep, one foot at a time just do it and don't look down until you're comfortable with heights. The first 2 times I was scared but now I don't mind climbing it, just carrying it.
Trust in your safety belt. Don’t get complacent. I’m a cable guy and had a fear of heights, just be safe and trust in your equipment. Good luck.
Thanks guys you’re both absolutely right. I got over it after a few times now the only thing that sucks is carrying it
Moca filter facing the wrong way. Don't install house boxes? Did you check for voltage when you got up the pole? Good practice to change old terminators at tap. Also all new fittings at tap. good content
Which part of the video was the moca filter the wrong way? also in my region North East Massachusetts house boxes are not required I also check for voltage every time I climb the pole just don’t put it on video but I should👍🏾
@@cabletech2371 stinger of moca filter should face the house, not the drop
Jacob Wade right now I’m with Xfinity but before I was with cox communications And with both companies that’s how we put on the moca filters from the house in Or at the main splitter in the house
@@cabletech2371 thats interesting Im inhouse xfinity and we are told the opposite.
Jacob Wade lol that is...idk I guess every region is different when I worked for Cox in Louisiana which is where I am originally from they did different things then the Cox company in Rhode Island it was weird 😂
Why do you have two jumper on ur xm2 in fl we only use one what’s the other one for
how long does it usually take for a new drop?
Post more videos, i start tomorrow
Your cool bud
How many jobs you get a day? And how long are they typically?
I'm getting like 5 can be 1/2 hour to 2 hours each more or less
A few weeks in, most I've done in a day is 10. the most experienced guys do insane numbers sometimes like 20's and 30's during the fall rush I don't even know how that's possible. Yesterday I did 6, I was on a roll and then I hit a "wall" which is what I call a job that takes up a bunch of time for one reason or another.
Is it better to connect to tap first or the house when running a drop
Tap first
No drip loops?
I don’t like working with rg11
What market you in bro ? Beltway ?
We do drops differently we do 343 loops can you show me that and yours
Can you please help me sir ji
Lazy techs. Lol. How many jobs have you come across that could have avoided a repeat?
I used to be a cable technician.
Where is your house box?
does xfiniity usually install them ? at optimum we've never had a house box. just ground block , was missing drip loop or extra slack at groundblock on the 11
Then I was a contractor.
