@wendschlag are you stupid? Techs are the laziest fucks to have work on your place. Sub contractors may do things that look sketch(I.e this video) but they have to make sure the job they do is alot neater and and the service is the best it can be. We have a licence that we can lose if we don't do the job right. Techs are union. They do what they want
I do this crap all the time, this video is bogus and you are more of a moron posting this video then him breaking into it for you. Those boxes get jammed from idiotic people trying to steal cable . The star keys get grinded down and don't work or the person who installed it put the wrong type of star key. I know I personally have 7 diff keys when I am supposed to only have 2, or he just lost the key. In end FUCK YOU ASSHOLE. For posting this dickwads like u is what makes are Job annoying
@georgethe09 I love how yu talk shit on the internet but yu know you dont got the balls to say it to our faces cuz yall shit your pants everytime you see us
This is one thing that I don't miss from working @ Comcast in Stone Mountain, Ga and surrounding areas...Our supervisors never had our back when we got stuck in jams like these. Overtime I became really good @ rescheduling jobs. A rookie would quit over some bs like this.
anyone who has had to deal with customers in the field knows that if this contractor said "i'm sorry, i can't get into this box bc the company didn't give me a key," the customer would most likely throw a fit and say "this is a big inconvenience and i wanna know what ur company is gonna do to make it right. i want a credit on my account!" trust me...i was a cable guy for years until recently and it happens all the time.
the reason he's having to break into that box is bc this is a multi dwelling unit and there is a key that opens that box, which most contractors can tell u the cable company doesn't provide contractors with normally. it's a bit of an oversight, but even when they're informed of the problem, they still do nothing about it. and so they end up with broken boxes so that they can finish the job for the whining customer.
@georgethe09 ... You did say 'doing the job', so you do understand the point. Is it better to have 5 georgethe09 's calling names and intentionally failing than this moneymaker allowing a fifteen-cent lock device cancel or postpone a job? Do you really not understand the objective here?
the key hole on the bottom right and top left are probobly both rusted out and if you worked in our field, you would understand that. Racial comments like yours show a great lack of intelligence and couth.
You work for Time Warner and you still don't understand why he is probobly breaking into the lock-box? What are you a CSR?
Being "black" doesn't give you an excuse for making racist comments and I'm not concerned with what your IQ may or may not be. In fact, your lack of a response of substance further substantiates my claim, thank you :)
@elfkind1 all there was is a racist joke, never said anythingabout not understanding, all your comment proves is you need to feel better about yourself, good day tiny dick
Watershed44 go fuck yourself you racist piece of shit! People like you Make me sick! I hope you get ass raped by a fucking dolphin you bitch made racist fuck!
Again for those that didn't or couldn't read and comprehend the OP posts the cable box was almost brand new and the lock WAS NOT DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, this monkey did not have the correct key. Bottom line if you know these boxes are out there YOU NEED TO COME TO THE JOB PREPARED WITH THE CORRECT TOOLS....This means you lazy cable guy.
Another nigger that doesn't come PREPARED to do the job correctly.
He knows that the job will require a key so he should have one, if not he needs to go to his supervisor and get the correct tool for the job, THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS MONKEY'S ACTIONS ON THE JOB! INEXCUSABLE !
First of all its an MDU and secondly why the fuck do you care how he opens it as it shows you standing behind him shouting orders that "I defiantly need cable". So you punish him for doing anything he can to open a box that BTW if you ever did installations you would know the keys don't always work and the locks are complete garbage cause of the crack heads breaking into them and them rusting shut. So good one you fuck head trying to call him out for pleasing your fat lazy ass.
dumbass you hardly get anymoney shit head i got a vid with 12k views and im only made 12 dollars (only 6 dollars has been finalized) so dont act like your ballin when you make 1 cent a day
I used to work for a subcontractor (triwire) installing cable for comcast, and they would send us out without the keys that we needed to get into the boxes because some of them got lost. so you had to either break into them or drive around for 45 min to find someone with a key which was a waste of your own time since you got paid piecework. his jacket looks like a triwire jacket
im a cable tech who used to work for comcast both as a contractor and a in-house tech...all my training was to please the customer and thats what this guy was doing...if he wouldn't have gotten the box open then the person who posted this would say something bout that...point is get a life and stop fucking wit people jobs
im a cable tach who used to work for comcast both as a contractor and a in-house tech...all my training was to please the customer and thats what this guy was doing...if he wouldnt have gotten the box open then the person who posted this would say something bout that...point is get a life and stop fucking wit people jobs
I love how you think your hot shot cause you make a few cents for doing nothing and have ONE video over 10,000 views boy i bet your just ballin in the dough. lmao get a real job prick.
@MoltenMozzarella You're a dumbass. This video gets thousands of hits every month and I get paid for every click. Still think I look like an idiot? I'm the one laughing at jerk offs like you who increase my commission checks.
@davidatlanta Well now that you mention it, I have friends who work at google in the states and I called about this and she said it all depends. I explained YOUR situation and the response was "one could find a job watching grass grow and make more money". Do I still think your an idiot? I now longer THINK your an idiot, I now know you are. I'm the one laughing at jerk offs like you who increase my nightly comedy intake.
When they break into their box, is that a reportable crime, seems as if Comcast could claim it was you, *of course since you have video proof, 200K+ hits; that's not an immediate concern* watch?v=C26iKtPYrcc
@davidatlanta Some of us have real jobs and other supplementary income from a web hosting consortium I run in addition to my day job as a cardiothoracic surgeon... so yes. You are an idiot.
Cisco is a corporations that single-out certain people that avoiding certain people and discriminate certain people Cisco it's a company that involved with a lot of organizations that related the "Mind Controlled Slave" and "ILLUMINATI" (Whatever it is) originally created by Italians and Germans Natsis That running the project-MKULTRA-(A deadly methods and experiments stalking of targeted individual)
You know things are critical in the US when you get called a racist for expecting the service providers technician to be prepared to do the job correctly.
If you are black you can basically get away with ANYTHING in the USA. And you are a racist if you don't agree. LOL
Unprofessional UNPREPARED to do the job right. The home network box was NEW and had a NEW functioning lock when installed. It is the techs job to COME TO THE JOB PREPARED!
I wonder if this hommie ever found the KFC in that box? LOL
Cable work is underpaid. The guy posing this video doesn't understand this or what the work consists of. Working 12 hours a day, not getting paid for some work, dealing with incompetent associates, dispatch and disgruntled customers. Cable techs don't create these situations, rather they must deal with them. Sitting on an AC unit is harmless. If this box, like so many had been broken into, or the cheap locks broke, then he would have to pry the box open. LIKE OMG he SAT on the AC, THEN WORKED!!!
I have a feeling we aren't getting the whole story. Whats the problem with someone breaking to the box to get your shit fixed? You would find something else to complain about if it wasn't this. OMG he is going to break my AC unit because it's not a stool. hate anal motherfuckers.
This is a multi unit box, sometimes thieves try to get in the box and screw up the star lock on the box. These old boxes need to go is what is the problem I'm guessing or he lost his special star key screw driver at his last job and tried using a needle nose to unlock it.... All I can say is I have had my problems getting into these damn boxes myself many times
That dude don"t even look like a cable guy man. Looks like you paid some crackhead to break into the cable box. He is not in a uniform even. Cable guys all wear a uniform.
@IlluminatiDan Much like our MediaCom cable here they don't use their employees exclusively. They hire CONTRACTORS most of which have no qualifications other than a drivers license and a vehicle.
@isaacu I work for Time Warner Cable in New York.. We contract burials out for people to bury underground cable. The only other contractors that do installs in our area are certified electricians who intall business class services. I wear a tool belt and carry a meter to measure for proper levels. Such as recieve and transmit levels. Also known as forward and return path. I am a top notch service tech. and installer. I do it all phone, data/hso and cable. Techs like this guy can't touch me..
@TheCatsLastWord I bet if you had a life you would not find time to point out the small indifferences between people. I bet I would call a white guy with no tools breaking into a cable box a crackhead as well. It is only you that made race an issue. Seriously it makes no difference if you are black or white. What are you saying ? If you don't think their are white cackheads, then you are wrong. Why must you racists always make it about race?
u guy dont know what tech have to go through there everyday work some of those jboxs are mess up from the key opening do to ppl trying to get in and get no paying cable and some costmers are a bunch of jerk to techs so ppl who dont know how a tech work everyday then u dont have a saying in this
suprised it was locked in the first place, or already not torn off the wall from someone tryin' to get basic. i've cracked one open with a crowbar before because someone tried to drill out the lock and fucked it up. hard to say why this guy's doin' what he's doin' without knowing the whole situation, but they don't teach dragon uppercuts to mdu boxes in class
You can drill out the cylinder of the lock, to avoid damage to the box. It looks professional too, when you drill. LOL! You might want to keep locks to replace it with, and then you would have a key.
which helps me recall the time I asked for oil and they said next quarter the fleet budget is closed HELLO ford motor company comcast got a new engine on warranty free of cost.Thats their idea of cost efficient and no one is held accountable just oh well sorry I told you so. yes comcast can not know how screwed up things really are only it knows never to breath the same air twice,certainly they would never pay twice its real sad how much of the management energy is misfocused by overage of tasks
obviously this tech is not represented.I'm represented and I always have a key but don't dare lose it because getting another key would be difficult i'm sure because the last time I asked for a pair of safety glasses my comcast superviser told me he thought perhaps next quarter we would get some but they hadn't figured out which of the remaining supervisors would be doing the tool orders now that 80% of those supervisory positions were lost in restructuring cuts
I agree with the busted ass key and busted ass lock theory. If dead beats wouldn't jack up the lock box trying to steal free cable to watch the Tyra show all day instead of finding a job then the damn box wouldn't need a crowbar to open in the first place!
To all of you racist and unintelligent rednecks, along with the one who posted this video, who are burning this guy for doing his job obviously have personal issues that they can't deal with so they need to trash people on the internet to get their kicks. Honestly, it's a waste of time to post and argue with them if you actually have some brains because these people will always be scum. That being said I just wanted to call you scum. :)
@theBlackUmbrellaSoc Thanks for adding a few more coins to my commission check. YouTube pays me for creating popular videos that have high interaction rates. I guess that makes me worse than scum.
this ain't nothing but another day at work for a tech. be lucky he got the damn thing open. i've been working for the cable company for almost 10yrs now, most of the time your on a ladder trying to get those shit boxes open. those lids might be bent, the key is broken in the lock, the lid is rusted and don't forget the squirrels that like to live inside. don't knock what you don't know.
@KILEKUMA I agree, if he had a clue he could open the box himself and connect it instead of not only judging but then trying to shame this guy on the internet?
@KILEKUMA Absolutely...and don't forget to mention..that at times someone has tampered with the box in an attempt to steal cable...and then when we arrive to install (hook up) cable for a paying customer we have to break into our box... I think the person who uploaded this video...for the only purpose of making a few coins...is a scum bag douche...who really needs to get a soul or some morales..... and stop being an Ass Clown... @Davidatlanta you are a sorry peice of shit!
Hey asshole kcmoon2001 I dont have to do any goddamn research because I have successfully managed an electrical supply before. All I said it that it would have been funny had the hood rat been dumb enough to pry the wrong thing open. I mean he was dumb and unprofessional enough to ask a CUSTOMER for a pry bar to pry open their box because he was too damn dumb to be prepared and open it the right way. How about understanding someone's post before you reply to it? Jackass!
Yeah. If @kcmoon2001 and @xj1ggy had read the post, they would have known that the box had been newly installed by Comcast and had a brand new, fully functioning lock.
You are such an misinformed asshole for posting this. This guy is probably busting his ass trying to keep up with his overbooked appointments, working 12 hours and not getting a break, and he's going out of his way to hook you up. He should have told you to drop dead and booked someone to come back to break into it at a later date. Just a tip: If the box can't be opened because the lock is messed up, this is the only way to open it. It then gets referred back to be repaired, so you have cable.
the person that posted this is a complete idiot, it was obvious that the tech was having a problem with the MDU box. (the star lock gets stripped on these from time to time) and it wouldn't matter if it was a contractor or a Comcast employee; a stuck box is a stuck box. to be honest, if he was recording me, that would have ended the install at that point and I would have called it in to dispatch and rescheduled his ass, send it into the MDU pool, and let him sit without his precious cable.
@myscorpiontat well considering that's a cable MDU and not an A/C disconnect that wouldn't have happened. You apparently have no idea WTF your looking at, and you've apparently never had to fuck with one of those stupid things after several mouth-breathers have broken into the thing to steal cable. So do a little research before you post next time, Loser.
For internet, phone and BASIC (i'm talking 15 channels) cable it is over $100 monthly. It will be $130 if we want any channels. So I say screw em they deserve having this posted. Kudos to the person who put this up for our viewing pleasure. You're not an asshole, you are a hero.
I think it is pretty funny that you shot and posted this. Those whiney techs and installers talk about what they go through. Well, from the consumer's end they overcharge us WAY too much to have to put up with some hood rat tech borrowing a crowbar and sitting on an AC unit prying the f... out of the junction box. We use Charter.
@myscorpiontat the techs don't "charge" you anything, you ignoramus. you agreed to pay for a service the corporation is charging you for, and the tech, lowest man on the totem pole, is merely there to install that service FOR YOU.
Easy break Easy Fix!! I wish half of you pussies out their could do half of what we as techs do. Im a tech for blah blah blah. we dont have these pretty little hour lunches we dont work 9 to 5s and we definately dont give a fuck what u and ur stupid ass camera think! i usually go in at 7 am and dont get home till 9 or 10 at night! dont listen to pussys like PENNYDREADFUL! he works at an office and talks shits from his computer. were hiring right now! Come Bang with us!!! ha!
meh typical black guy. got some haitian guy come over to install mine and his attitude was horrible. but not only that he forgot his tools and almost broke into the box as what happened to you. i stopped him though...contract says you are responsible for any dmg done to it.
Honestly -- There is nothing wrong with this picture. You can blame the providers of the "boxes". The providers had a tendency to actually use chearper parts that eventually stop working properly due to over use. This is part of a every day job that a cable has to go through. We dont live in a "perfect world' where the built in locks dont break down.
I applaud this tech for even trying to get in a box that is that size. I would have rescheduled until box is fixed.
I had to do this once and im a tech. The lock they put on the lockbox was actually updated and nobody but inhouse had the keys so i had to break into it just so the customer can have service. I beat the hell out of that box.
@s2krookie Tell the guys in suits that I love my Comcast Xfinity service. Cable in four rooms, two HD and two SD. Freakin' fast internet and good phone service for $162 a month.
Hmmm... why do people think Comcast sucks? Guess I'm a small percentage of Americans who aren't block heads...
well then your an idiot for taking time off work for your cable appointment. is your cable more important to you than your job? stupidass blaming the cable co for being late to an appointment when they never know for sure how long each appointment can be i.e.: a house that never had cable before will slow down your whole day.
Hmmm recording someone while on the job, and from this I do not see a crowbar or any actuall breaking into anything. I see a man's back and a ox on a house. From this video we cannot even see if the box was opened. Also real douchebag move recoding someone like this. Would it be ok if I came toy our job and recoded what you did then post it to YouTube saying LAWL DUMB ASS GUY SCREWS ANOTHER REPORT! Also that site all about you, real docuhebag status right there also.
Another thing, the technicians do not have anything to do with how your service performs, We just install the service make sure the decible level has correct feed for each box or modem. Make sure you have a picture and leave. We do not create the boxes jack ass. If comcast is able to cut your box off and on from anyone of there locations then its obvious that your box is installed correctly jack ass. It mustv been because he was a African Male your just a jack ass. I want you to eat shit guy.
I was a tech for ComCast. Those boxes may be a little hard to get into from time to time. I believe this is because of people restoring there on cable they made the boxes a little tricky to get into even for technicians that work for the company as you can obviously see from this technician that asked to use a crowbar (looks like a little flat head screw driver) to try and open the box. Your a dickhead, what are you mad he sat down on your wittle ac unit. Break your camera and then your face.
I cant believe this is even on youtube seriously dude is this really even entertaining. Maybe tommorow you'll post a video of your eating instead of posting videos of cable techs actually doing there jobs oh well i love you fagit customers think your actually important fuck off and die lol
All of you fucking idiots defending contractors need to wake up, go to college and get a job that doesn't involve manual labor if you're so concerned about being "overworked." These scumbags, especially hired on by Comcast, are lazy. You should have seen how upset this guy was when I told him he was going to wall-drop my cable and not just drill a hole in my wall to the outside. You'd think I'd killed his mother. God forbid you get your knit shirt and shitty blue jeans dirty. GET TO WORK, BITCH!
Most of these guys are right, if you people knew half the things we deal with on any given day you would be amazed we get it done , this video is garbage , if I couldnt get into a box I would find a way also
yeah, you phone techs are something else also as well as billing. go to call and all one gets is a damned machine, not to mention that you cluster *#$%&s tried to charge me for the time that I did NOT have cable and add that to an outstanding bill. The internet and the tv used to be on two separate bills, that way, if one got shut off, the other would still be on. Hell, anyone can look up at a pole after a hard disconnect and see where it was and connect it right back.
First of all I am a tech. For cable and I get about 8 calls a day. Easy?....u do my job for a day getting ripped apart and dealing with peoples bs listen cable is a luxury not a right if u think we over charge or u get treated unfair remember it's a luxury
@souderbt1 No, FTTH is a luxury. Cable is something most people have to put up with because businesses like comcast are afraid of upgrading their infrastructure and paying to drop the fiber.
I am both a customer and was a technician, I don't pity the customers, you don't realize what technicians go through. You continue to whine about your service and blame the technicians for trying to give you reasonable accommodation. Why don't you quit being an idiot and if your service doesn't work drop it, rather than use lame gotcha videos like this that don't prove anything other than a technician going above and beyond to get the job done.
Fuck All You All! Here Is A 50$ Spot Hook me up BItcH! "FREE!" Most of US work hard at what we do! Cable itself is mostly All full of BULLSHIT "InfoMercial" Fucking Channels anyHow! So stop Bitchin at Tech and customers and operators! "FUCK" Mutha F-IN COM FuCKIN CasT! DAMN THIEVESSS! "GIVE ME MY RABBIT EARS!"
Installer techs drive around and go to mcdonnalds, subway and starbux all day!. Don't tell me they have it bad.. All appointments are scheduled also which makes it even easier on them!. Hell they don't even have to dig holes, they send peeon's out to do that after they fix your problem. How do they have it so bad?
yea pretty F***in gay for posting this, I am sure he got that open for you, or if he went "by the book" he could of rescheduled you for someone else to come out with the keys, I bet you would have been really happy then!
if you had a real problem with this you should have STOPPED him. you people think you are so great mabye techs should start taking video and pics of your disgusting dirty houses and put them on you tube "This is so and so's house look at the dog shit still on the floor and the floors that have not been cleaned for weeks etc." that I would find really funny and would pay to see that.
And finally if he was doing such a horrible job that you were not comfortable with why the hell would you sit and record him on your cell phone, why not use yer cell phone for something important like calling customer service back??? and then you post the video on youtube and name the title emphasizing THEIR as if hes breaking into the box to get free service on purpose.
Complete ignorance not making you all so perfect either.
If you only knew what this installer techs had to go through everyday, just to install you f*ckin cable, and if only you can be an installer tech for a day you will really regret posting this video. I'm a phone tech support rep by the way.
@aj27117 If you only knew what I have to go through any time I need service from a technician to fix/troubleshoot/install cable. If you could be one of us for a day you would really understand why I posted this. I'm a Comcast customer by the way.
@davidatlanta HMMMM....Im a cell phone sales rep in a store, Ive done the tech support on the phone and I had to kinda laugh at you a little. "CAN YOU BE ONE OF US FOR A DAY"???? LIke what does that mean, you think that the technician on thephone or customer service rep or whoever works for any company is like superman???
@davidatlanta every comcast tech is also a comcast customer, and that is why they, who service you face to face, can sympathize with you more than anyone else in the company. it was really pathetic of you to post this on youtube.
@venom769 I like Comcast. I really love their programming and I happily send them $100+ every month. In this case if it was a tech that needed to have service connected they would have been able to do it themselves, thus not having to wait for someone to come out.
This video of ONE tech, not all. I posted it is because it was so ridiculous and extraordinary that I didn't think anyone would believe it happened. I'm sure the majority of their techs are hard working and reliable, unlike this guy.
@davidatlanta duche bag, do you think this tech is breaking in for the fun of it or because he doesn't know how to open it?? I have been in situations where I had to break in to our own box to hook up/fix someones cable tv/phone service. I guess I could have easily cancelled the job and have the customer wait even longer to get his service fix/installed, i'm sure they would be more happy that way. people have no clue what these guys go through, in general, customers are fuckholes.
@fcarabat Yes, "customers are fuckholes." Fortunately for you eventually all the "fuckholes" will leave and you won't ever have to deal with us again. If there aren't any paying customers you won't have a job.
@davidatlanta they will never leave. they NEED TV AND INTERNET! you have no idea how cranky people get without tv and internet. just remember this, customers are NOT always right.
@fcarabat Yes, but we have a choice about where our hard earned money is spent. I need TV & Internet, but I don't necessary need Comcast. AT&T can give me the same programming and Internet. Clear can give me broadband. I'm not trying to say that all installers are stupid or that he wasn't trying to make me happy by ensuring my service was connected that day. Hopefully, this was a unique situation and proper tools are used in most cases by dependable installers.
@davidatlanta then you go get your att and clear then and stop complaining, or just instead of video tape it to complain about later why not just cancel then and save the guy some time and embarrassment
@fcarabatI agree. I have a feeling we aren't getting the whole story. Whats the problem with someone breaking to the box to get your shit fixed? This guy would find something else to complain about if it wasn't this. OMG he is going to break my AC unit because it's not a stool. I hate anal motherfuckers.
@fcarabat those fuckholes ensure you have a job to go to everyday. The fuckholes would be you and your hack coworkers. The shitty workmanship I have gotten from several of you "professional" cable/tv/phone installers is pathetic. Take some pride in what you do and drop your attitude towards the customer. I have cancelled service because of the attitude of you clowns. You don't like the job, quit and find another line of work, the circus is hiring.
@alderaforall It's true, customers ensure we have work, but that doesn't mean that we have to be treated like fucking assholes because of a pissed off customer that has nothing better to do that pick the tech apart because he/she is having a bad day. You should go out in the field, only then you will know what the hell I am talking about, instead of running your mouth off. I am a customer as well, so I understand both sides of the story. You are just one of those people I am talking about.
@fcarabat If you don't want to be treated like a fucking asshole then don't be one, you'd be amazed how well it works. The reason you get picked apart is because you're probably tearing up their property that's going to cost them money to fix because your lazy ass could care less. I've had to deal with lazy douche bags like you before, and if you think I'm going to turn a blind eye to your workmanship that I will have to look at every day then you are sadly mistaken. I know exactly how it works.
@alderaforall you have no fucking clue you piece of shit. Cock sucking people like you need to be hung by your balls, fucking armchair warrior, that's all you are. I work hard for my money, I take pride in my work, who the fuck are YOU to tell me how I do MY work? have you met me before? no, shut your mouth, idiot. It's customers like YOU that piss me off, especially when I bend backwards and try the best I can but still get complaints because people like u are soo damn stuck up. FUCK YOU.
@fcarabat You want to hang me by my balls? Make it happen, doubt you could put in the effort it would take. It's real simple, do the job right the first time and then you won't get complaints. It has nothing to do with me being stuck up and everything to do with you, your piss poor attitude and shotty workmanship. If you are getting complaints about your work then clearly it is the customer's fault? You're an idiot. As long as you work on my house I'll tell you how to do your job with a smile.
@alderaforall I love putting customers in their place (fuckholes like yourself). People like you disgust me to no end, you morons think that anyone doing a service for you are scum and don't deserve to be treated with respect. I do the best job I can, and when a customer is respectful, I go over and beyond to make sure they are happy with the work, if they are uptight shits like you, they won't be receiving the service they "think" they should be getting. Give respect, gain respect. easy.
@fcarabat there are expectations when someone works on a home, i.e. the job is done correctly, looks presentable, not leaving gates open, not leaving trash on the property. That is respect to the homeowner. Easy. If you don't want to do any of those I can and will be a dick. We don't ask that you bend over backwards, we want no special service, just do the job right the first time so we don't have to wait around an entire day for you to show up and fix your sloppy work. Is that being uptight?
@alderaforall No, that's not being uptight at all. Let's rewind back to this specific youtube video: I don't agree with the technician sitting on top of the customers (or even another persons) air conditioner, that's something I wouldn't have done myself, but, as for his "breaking into the box", well, he's trying to get that person his/her service so the cust. service is not delayed. All i'm saying is for everyone to speak nice and treat each other with respect. job will get done well.
@fcarabat I know exactly what you are talking about bro, been there done that had to kick a cable box for it to open up and i leave it open for the next tech so they don't have to fight the box to get services going. some time i get them bad boxes with wasps nest.
@fcarabat My comments to asiansugar go a hundred times for you, you faggot pussy whiny little bitch. Quit your job and let someone who isn't such a baby have some work. Have you ever had to remove an engine, disassemble it entirely and replace every seal on it, drilling out stripped screws in the process, and then reinstall it, hooking up dozens of points on the wiring harness perfectly? No? Then STFU. I don't blame the owner of the car for wanting the service we are paid to provide.
@davidatlanta this guy is hard at work trying to open that box which we got no key for. that box uses 5 stars and we were given the 6 sided or 8 sided keys so theres no way in hell he can get inside that box without prying that open with brute force. So what is wrong with your comcast services? is your internet not working. You know what just go ahead and switch to AT&T and see how happy you will be with their services.
@sweetasiansugar I like how you couldn't be bothered to take 10 seconds to read the description on the video where it clearly states that he is very happy with the service. But it's so much nicer to just make it up in your head that the guy filming is an ass and you're on a pedestal, right? Btw, it's hardly the customer's fault that your company does janky shit with their boxes. If you wanna get butt hurt, maybe you should direct it at the people responsible for the problem.
@MercC23k From an employee you have to see it from their side. Onsite you have 2 options as a tech, either 1: cancel the job because you cant access the box and make the customer wait for an SRO to be placed to open it (can take 5-7+days) . Or 2: verify with the customer its ok to break it open (even though its company property) then just snap the lock, install the services and zip tie it back to prevent water damage. *Id rather do whats needed to resolve the issue and prevent a future trip*
@ronjohn862000 No, I don't have to see it from their side, since clearly none of the guys posting give two shits about customers. They all are acting like the OP of this video should be sucking their dicks since they gave him the time of day. And I have yet to meet a cable installer who either, A. Knew how to do his job properly and B. Did it without complaint. Every cable employee I have met has bitched about having to do their job, and 90% couldn't find their ass if they had a map.
@wendschlag are you stupid? Techs are the laziest fucks to have work on your place. Sub contractors may do things that look sketch(I.e this video) but they have to make sure the job they do is alot neater and and the service is the best it can be. We have a licence that we can lose if we don't do the job right. Techs are union. They do what they want

anyone who has had to deal with customers in the field knows that if this contractor said "i'm sorry, i can't get into this box bc the company didn't give me a key," the customer would most likely throw a fit and say "this is a big inconvenience and i wanna know what ur company is gonna do to make it right. i want a credit on my account!" trust me...i was a cable guy for years until recently and it happens all the time.
mrleal77 2 months ago
the reason he's having to break into that box is bc this is a multi dwelling unit and there is a key that opens that box, which most contractors can tell u the cable company doesn't provide contractors with normally. it's a bit of an oversight, but even when they're informed of the problem, they still do nothing about it. and so they end up with broken boxes so that they can finish the job for the whining customer.

First of all its an MDU and secondly why the fuck do you care how he opens it as it shows you standing behind him shouting orders that "I defiantly need cable". So you punish him for doing anything he can to open a box that BTW if you ever did installations you would know the keys don't always work and the locks are complete garbage cause of the crack heads breaking into them and them rusting shut. So good one you fuck head trying to call him out for pleasing your fat lazy ass.

Cable techs don't create these situations, rather they must deal with them. Sitting on an AC unit is harmless. If this box, like so many had been broken into, or the cheap locks broke, then he would have to pry the box open. LIKE OMG he SAT on the AC, THEN WORKED!!!

He should have told you to drop dead and booked someone to come back to break into it at a later date. Just a tip: If the box can't be opened because the lock is messed up, this is the only way to open it. It then gets referred back to be repaired, so you have cable.

Honestly -- There is nothing wrong with this picture. You can blame the providers of the "boxes". The providers had a tendency to actually use chearper parts that eventually stop working properly due to over use. This is part of a every day job that a cable has to go through. We dont live in a "perfect world' where the built in locks dont break down.
I applaud this tech for even trying to get in a box that is that size. I would have rescheduled until box is fixed.

Another thing, the technicians do not have anything to do with how your service performs, We just install the service make sure the decible level has correct feed for each box or modem. Make sure you have a picture and leave. We do not create the boxes jack ass. If comcast is able to cut your box off and on from anyone of there locations then its obvious that your box is installed correctly jack ass. It mustv been because he was a African Male your just a jack ass. I want you to eat shit guy.
cdaddy20 1 year ago
I was a tech for ComCast. Those boxes may be a little hard to get into from time to time. I believe this is because of people restoring there on cable they made the boxes a little tricky to get into even for technicians that work for the company as you can obviously see from this technician that asked to use a crowbar (looks like a little flat head screw driver) to try and open the box. Your a dickhead, what are you mad he sat down on your wittle ac unit. Break your camera and then your face.

Most of these guys are right, if you people knew half the things we deal with on any given day you would be amazed we get it done , this video is garbage , if I couldnt get into a box I would find a way also
Mikey34549 1 year ago
yeah, you phone techs are something else also as well as billing. go to call and all one gets is a damned machine, not to mention that you cluster *#$%&s tried to charge me for the time that I did NOT have cable and add that to an outstanding bill. The internet and the tv used to be on two separate bills, that way, if one got shut off, the other would still be on. Hell, anyone can look up at a pole after a hard disconnect and see where it was and connect it right back.

First of all I am a tech. For cable and I get about 8 calls a day. Easy?....u do my job for a day getting ripped apart and dealing with peoples bs listen cable is a luxury not a right if u think we over charge or u get treated unfair remember it's a luxury

@souderbt1 No, FTTH is a luxury. Cable is something most people have to put up with because businesses like comcast are afraid of upgrading their infrastructure and paying to drop the fiber.

I am both a customer and was a technician, I don't pity the customers, you don't realize what technicians go through. You continue to whine about your service and blame the technicians for trying to give you reasonable accommodation. Why don't you quit being an idiot and if your service doesn't work drop it, rather than use lame gotcha videos like this that don't prove anything other than a technician going above and beyond to get the job done.

Installer techs drive around and go to mcdonnalds, subway and starbux all day!. Don't tell me they have it bad.. All appointments are scheduled also which makes it even easier on them!. Hell they don't even have to dig holes, they send peeon's out to do that after they fix your problem. How do they have it so bad?
995sunglasses 1 year ago
yea pretty F***in gay for posting this, I am sure he got that open for you, or if he went "by the book" he could of rescheduled you for someone else to come out with the keys, I bet you would have been really happy then!
kcaudiofxdotcom 1 year ago 4
if you had a real problem with this you should have STOPPED him. you people think you are so great mabye techs should start taking video and pics of your disgusting dirty houses and put them on you tube "This is so and so's house look at the dog shit still on the floor and the floors that have not been cleaned for weeks etc." that I would find really funny and would pay to see that.
Kenebneb1 1 year ago 2
And finally if he was doing such a horrible job that you were not comfortable with why the hell would you sit and record him on your cell phone, why not use yer cell phone for something important like calling customer service back??? and then you post the video on youtube and name the title emphasizing THEIR as if hes breaking into the box to get free service on purpose.
Complete ignorance not making you all so perfect either.

If you only knew what this installer techs had to go through everyday, just to install you f*ckin cable, and if only you can be an installer tech for a day you will really regret posting this video. I'm a phone tech support rep by the way.
aj27117 1 year ago
@aj27117 If you only knew what I have to go through any time I need service from a technician to fix/troubleshoot/install cable. If you could be one of us for a day you would really understand why I posted this. I'm a Comcast customer by the way.

@davidatlanta HMMMM....Im a cell phone sales rep in a store, Ive done the tech support on the phone and I had to kinda laugh at you a little. "CAN YOU BE ONE OF US FOR A DAY"???? LIke what does that mean, you think that the technician on thephone or customer service rep or whoever works for any company is like superman???

@davidatlanta every comcast tech is also a comcast customer, and that is why they, who service you face to face, can sympathize with you more than anyone else in the company. it was really pathetic of you to post this on youtube.
venom769 1 year ago
@venom769 I like Comcast. I really love their programming and I happily send them $100+ every month. In this case if it was a tech that needed to have service connected they would have been able to do it themselves, thus not having to wait for someone to come out.
This video of ONE tech, not all. I posted it is because it was so ridiculous and extraordinary that I didn't think anyone would believe it happened. I'm sure the majority of their techs are hard working and reliable, unlike this guy.
davidatlanta 1 year ago
@davidatlanta duche bag, do you think this tech is breaking in for the fun of it or because he doesn't know how to open it?? I have been in situations where I had to break in to our own box to hook up/fix someones cable tv/phone service. I guess I could have easily cancelled the job and have the customer wait even longer to get his service fix/installed, i'm sure they would be more happy that way. people have no clue what these guys go through, in general, customers are fuckholes.
fcarabat 1 year ago 38
@fcarabat Yes, "customers are fuckholes." Fortunately for you eventually all the "fuckholes" will leave and you won't ever have to deal with us again. If there aren't any paying customers you won't have a job.
davidatlanta 1 year ago
@davidatlanta they will never leave. they NEED TV AND INTERNET! you have no idea how cranky people get without tv and internet. just remember this, customers are NOT always right.
fcarabat 1 year ago
@fcarabat Yes, but we have a choice about where our hard earned money is spent. I need TV & Internet, but I don't necessary need Comcast. AT&T can give me the same programming and Internet. Clear can give me broadband. I'm not trying to say that all installers are stupid or that he wasn't trying to make me happy by ensuring my service was connected that day. Hopefully, this was a unique situation and proper tools are used in most cases by dependable installers.
davidatlanta 1 year ago
@davidatlanta then you go get your att and clear then and stop complaining, or just instead of video tape it to complain about later why not just cancel then and save the guy some time and embarrassment
Forwards666 11 months ago
@fcarabatI agree. I have a feeling we aren't getting the whole story. Whats the problem with someone breaking to the box to get your shit fixed? This guy would find something else to complain about if it wasn't this. OMG he is going to break my AC unit because it's not a stool. I hate anal motherfuckers.
emmetfox 9 months ago
@fcarabat those fuckholes ensure you have a job to go to everyday. The fuckholes would be you and your hack coworkers. The shitty workmanship I have gotten from several of you "professional" cable/tv/phone installers is pathetic. Take some pride in what you do and drop your attitude towards the customer. I have cancelled service because of the attitude of you clowns. You don't like the job, quit and find another line of work, the circus is hiring.
alderaforall 8 months ago
@alderaforall It's true, customers ensure we have work, but that doesn't mean that we have to be treated like fucking assholes because of a pissed off customer that has nothing better to do that pick the tech apart because he/she is having a bad day. You should go out in the field, only then you will know what the hell I am talking about, instead of running your mouth off. I am a customer as well, so I understand both sides of the story. You are just one of those people I am talking about.
fcarabat 8 months ago
@fcarabat If you don't want to be treated like a fucking asshole then don't be one, you'd be amazed how well it works. The reason you get picked apart is because you're probably tearing up their property that's going to cost them money to fix because your lazy ass could care less. I've had to deal with lazy douche bags like you before, and if you think I'm going to turn a blind eye to your workmanship that I will have to look at every day then you are sadly mistaken. I know exactly how it works.
alderaforall 8 months ago
@alderaforall you have no fucking clue you piece of shit. Cock sucking people like you need to be hung by your balls, fucking armchair warrior, that's all you are. I work hard for my money, I take pride in my work, who the fuck are YOU to tell me how I do MY work? have you met me before? no, shut your mouth, idiot. It's customers like YOU that piss me off, especially when I bend backwards and try the best I can but still get complaints because people like u are soo damn stuck up. FUCK YOU.
fcarabat 8 months ago
@fcarabat You want to hang me by my balls? Make it happen, doubt you could put in the effort it would take. It's real simple, do the job right the first time and then you won't get complaints. It has nothing to do with me being stuck up and everything to do with you, your piss poor attitude and shotty workmanship. If you are getting complaints about your work then clearly it is the customer's fault? You're an idiot. As long as you work on my house I'll tell you how to do your job with a smile.
alderaforall 8 months ago
@alderaforall I love putting customers in their place (fuckholes like yourself). People like you disgust me to no end, you morons think that anyone doing a service for you are scum and don't deserve to be treated with respect. I do the best job I can, and when a customer is respectful, I go over and beyond to make sure they are happy with the work, if they are uptight shits like you, they won't be receiving the service they "think" they should be getting. Give respect, gain respect. easy.
fcarabat 8 months ago 2
@fcarabat there are expectations when someone works on a home, i.e. the job is done correctly, looks presentable, not leaving gates open, not leaving trash on the property. That is respect to the homeowner. Easy. If you don't want to do any of those I can and will be a dick. We don't ask that you bend over backwards, we want no special service, just do the job right the first time so we don't have to wait around an entire day for you to show up and fix your sloppy work. Is that being uptight?
alderaforall 8 months ago
@alderaforall No, that's not being uptight at all. Let's rewind back to this specific youtube video: I don't agree with the technician sitting on top of the customers (or even another persons) air conditioner, that's something I wouldn't have done myself, but, as for his "breaking into the box", well, he's trying to get that person his/her service so the cust. service is not delayed. All i'm saying is for everyone to speak nice and treat each other with respect. job will get done well.
fcarabat 8 months ago
@fcarabat I know exactly what you are talking about bro, been there done that had to kick a cable box for it to open up and i leave it open for the next tech so they don't have to fight the box to get services going. some time i get them bad boxes with wasps nest.

@fcarabat My comments to asiansugar go a hundred times for you, you faggot pussy whiny little bitch. Quit your job and let someone who isn't such a baby have some work. Have you ever had to remove an engine, disassemble it entirely and replace every seal on it, drilling out stripped screws in the process, and then reinstall it, hooking up dozens of points on the wiring harness perfectly? No? Then STFU. I don't blame the owner of the car for wanting the service we are paid to provide.
MercC23k 6 months ago
@davidatlanta this guy is hard at work trying to open that box which we got no key for. that box uses 5 stars and we were given the 6 sided or 8 sided keys so theres no way in hell he can get inside that box without prying that open with brute force. So what is wrong with your comcast services? is your internet not working. You know what just go ahead and switch to AT&T and see how happy you will be with their services.
sweetasiansugar 6 months ago
@sweetasiansugar I like how you couldn't be bothered to take 10 seconds to read the description on the video where it clearly states that he is very happy with the service. But it's so much nicer to just make it up in your head that the guy filming is an ass and you're on a pedestal, right? Btw, it's hardly the customer's fault that your company does janky shit with their boxes. If you wanna get butt hurt, maybe you should direct it at the people responsible for the problem.
MercC23k 6 months ago
@MercC23k From an employee you have to see it from their side. Onsite you have 2 options as a tech, either 1: cancel the job because you cant access the box and make the customer wait for an SRO to be placed to open it (can take 5-7+days) . Or 2: verify with the customer its ok to break it open (even though its company property) then just snap the lock, install the services and zip tie it back to prevent water damage. *Id rather do whats needed to resolve the issue and prevent a future trip*
ronjohn862000 6 months ago
@ronjohn862000 No, I don't have to see it from their side, since clearly none of the guys posting give two shits about customers. They all are acting like the OP of this video should be sucking their dicks since they gave him the time of day. And I have yet to meet a cable installer who either, A. Knew how to do his job properly and B. Did it without complaint. Every cable employee I have met has bitched about having to do their job, and 90% couldn't find their ass if they had a map.
