Tech refused to install service
We had a install scheduled for today, 7/13/2024, with a window of 8-10 am. He arrived at 8:25 am and my husband met him outside to show him where service was to be located. When we scheduled this install we told them we had a computer upstairs we needed hard wired and where we wanted everything installed. My husband showed him where the old wire was and where is was ran. This tech said he was just to turn on service and nothing else because running the wire would take 2 hours. He told my husband he would have to call customer service and then this man just LEFT without a word. There is already an existing hole in the wall for him to insert his wire when he pulled out the old wire all he had to do was run it from the box to the upstairs office, which we told them when we scheduled the install. Now customer service is saying they don't have anyone to come out today to install our service and we would have to wait a week. My husband took today off work for this install and now will have to take another day off for another person to show up. I don't think so. What are we paying $100 for if all the tech is supposed to do it turn on the box on the side of the house. Our current service had NO problems running this wire and never said anything about it being a problem because THERE IS ALREADY A HOLE IN THE WALL FOR THE WIRE! And for this tech to just leave without a word? What kind of service is this?

Thank you for reaching out @user_8jpcjv Our technicians normally do not run additional lines for installations. That would be completed by an electrician especially if ran to an upstairs room. The technician may not have the equipment to run a new line to an upstairs room if a new line is needed. I would be happy to make sure you have a new installation time. Please send me a Direct Message with your name and service address so that I can fully dive into this for you! I will leave you instructions on how to initiate the message with us! I look forward to working with you soon!
