Their taps would degrade out signal quality. For me, both of my cable, and internet. However, those pieces of trash had no problems just walking out to the box. Literally ripping the door off it. Then wiring the cable again.
We are talking about a box on the front of the building, by the road, in broad daylight.
Fucking unbelievable.

Same thing has happened to me, numerous times. People don't seem to realize that by splicing into someone else's cable, you're not screwing the company as much as you're screwing the person who's paying for the cable. Some people are such self-entitled assholes that they simply don't care, though... THEY want free cable, so the neighbor who's paying $120 a month for business class internet/cable just has to deal with their connection going out every other day =P Even telling them that I required the internet to do my job and to pay my bills didn't seem to faze them... they spliced - or attempting to splice, they were pretty awful at it and a couple of times they just ended up shredding the cables - until they eventually got evicted (for nonpayment of rent, surprise surprise).
I'm bitter, can you tell?
