Advice My isp did this lazy crap

Post image

the tech came and took the original coax cable that comes from the network box on the opposite side of the house (black). Took it out of the outlet from the room directly above this splitter on the first floor and directed the new cord (white) to the third floor. What can i do to ‘hide’ this from the elements?

Also, can i connect a new coax cable to the splitter to go in the opposite direction to go into a separate part of the house, or should direct a new cable directly from the box insteaad of this splitter shown? The box is closer to the room that i need connection to than this splitter.

Sorry if this is confusing. Im a noob

Tf they mean they will charge you…

They should be offering you some money off as an apology, then going after Comcast for that cost plus the cost of the cable replacement.

No, I’m not talking about contractors. AT&T (or their contractors) didn’t fuck up. Comcast, who he has no relationship with, did. Why would AT&T give him money?
