    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.

    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

    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.

      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.

      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.
