Any issues from Comcast with you showing stuff on You Tube? I know you have done all the damn learning courses on Work Day about what you should say and not say. I always thought it would be cool to do a vlog on a day as a cable lineman. I am a line tech for them but was always a little worried about showing my truck or anything with the Xfinity name on it. Have you come across any issues form your higher ups about you posting?
@MrSeven.SixTwoX39Ай бұрын
I know how it goes bro, sadly. Nps most definitely can hurt you even if you’re a good tech. I’m a field tech as well,& I’ve gotten nps hits multiple times even though I made sure the customer was happy, up & running. But due to them having to call xfinity so much they believe the survey is about the company’s a whole instead of rating you and the work you’ve done.

I was always tbinking to make a video of putting on RG11 fittins ("connectors") in thr freezing cold, and make comedy out of it. Get thr runny nose and thr struggle grunts to put thr connector on a stiff RG11. Don't even blow the nose just let it run. Then fail the ingress and go crazy again putting another one on, after rhr ingress oassed eithiut thr crimp, thrn failed after thr crimp, but its the last one fittin you have. Looking like Jackie Chan in drunken master with the walnuts. Grt a slow mo on tht runny nose and the grunt. Then put arnold schearzenager from total recall on it trying to get some air. Then fail again and thrn get the sad music on the frosty finger tips shaking and shivering. Thrn get some extras to okay supervisors laughing in a car some distanxe away, and a little girl in a neighbir house pointing out the window at you rolling on the ground. Then have thr farher on the phone crying histerically dialing 411 with thr ckose up on thr numbers. Then ans a tear droo in the phone. Then you hear the hello tbis is 411, thrn she starts crying like a man is outside trying to break into her house. But she is talking about she think you are cutting the phone lines. Then back to me going crazy trying to get thr RG11 fittin to oass infress befire i crimp it. Then a guy walking by wirh groceries says hey! Try this. Then pulls out some spinach in a can with a forearm on it. Miraculously you throw the empty can away and a blow dryer ruens on over your shoulder and the nusic is back on. Eyes light up on champion mess then you get that last push in on slow-mo. Ans it pass ingress at the (UG) Tap, but then everyone over you shoulder, plus that one guy with the can of aoinach to see the ingress results and fail.

DAM 🦫 It's always the pay rape thing using NPS because they know customers try to dictate your money. Its like all this onlone banking got spies spending your money for you but theowing obstacles and curve balls your way. Then you cant follow through in your plans. It happened to me where my boss pulled a Glock out on me when i came back from Tennesse (travel tech) to Baltimore. Nobody gave a fuck. So i left. He texted me on the work phone to meet him at 7AM at the warehouse. The rehiring process i had to do. I took a break and went to Tokyo, Japan. They treated me like enemy number one. They never let me eat lunch lile that its always work through luncb. Office job cats always get a lunch break we be out in the snow starving. Then we cant get a wife for the back rubs each night. If you do have a wife she fucking the boss n shit. While you in the rain tryna get out of a crawl space job. Im hurt bru. I got envious chicks that will never try to meet me goonf out their way to stip me from earning a honest living wokring. As soon as i out in thr safety vest in a video they throwing up at the toilet. Especially when i showed my 2 bed 2 bath apartment. Bitches will leave ya azs ehen you look like nothing pop'n. Then finally ehen you get thrm bitches off your back you can make a move and they come running back. Like "He tricked me!!!" Now they mad with a dick in their throat they dont love because you left their azzez. It works every single time. Lay low for minute let them run to a new man, get married, boo'd up then BAM. Back out their. My issue is women as you noticed. Im esiting for two clever women to get snatched uo by some random smandom giy so i can make a run for it. You know, i dont want you vut i dont want you to be with someone else ass women. Anyways, yeah. I had a gun drawn in me twice. Once at Cox and then the boss of CUI in Baltimore. Then a car collision just for doing Lyft. Next time im paying for prostitutes to stay with me when i travel as a tech. These bitches wont jump for marriage but they offerbthen miney and food tbey will give you wife treatment all day with no effort. Its better than hoksing your own hand by accident in the hotel bed while the bitch that you love fetting her throat oozed down and she loving it as a lonliness coping addiction and comfort. Im not wasting my time no more tryna show them how reliable of man i am, good and faithful. To get a marriage embrace a beautiful family and some consistent pussy on the daily. Ni99az aint got no biological children. My ex-wife got popped while i was on a slide to 7 and they aint my children. Now on Only Fans with a random smandom. Sorry bru bitches ruined my life just for being a pious hard working man that wanted to be married. I hate these bitches. Selfish as shit. They will get your life jammed up with a dick in throat just because they saw me talk about wanting to get married, but the dick still in their mouth while scrolling on my IG page being sneaky. Instead of suck that nigga dick and drink and be happy ehen he take them out to eat. Dont hold me. In every country these bitches crazy the same. I cant even work and live. I rather die and never see these beauridul evil hearted bitches again.

That MoCa filter can go almost anywhere depending on the job type. MDU's mainly, an UG's with a direct line into an apartment to the wall plate, or the famous Sunday locked Data Room I'll put a MoCa on the wall plate if I can if it's not gonna impair it. And also I put a MoCa on the ground block and the AMP before to get the boxes working. Crazy jobs. A lot of jobs now, that are simple modem jobs, just enable to MoCa if have none, but the ground block will get hit for bad QC. Then new MoCa ground blocks are only good for homes to me. People out then anywhere though like regular MoCa's on MDU's and etc. Most jobs be merely taking off the MoCa ground block putting on regular ground blocks if you have one, and then putting MoCa's on the splitters. It really depends on the button pushers (TSC). TSC jobs are like non-existent. People in a whole other country will be up at 5AM for your slide to 7 walking you through provisioning and equipment add/remove issues. I feel like I gotta go to their country to do TSC. I probably did a few TSC customer jobs not knowing and they only said they work from home. Them platinum customer jobs. The ones where they go outside with you, and be holding the flash light under the crawl space with you. They be the TSC. But how do I get a TSC position? Techs would love me, because I'm helpful as ever. I don't try techs I just help them. They might have families to feed.

Toner you have will not tone through a splitter just a heads up. The minute my toner doesn’t tone I know there’s a splitter. We can’t use amps here any more due to high split so I always check the basement especially if the cust tells me they used to have cable boxes. Also don’t know if you have one but a phone toner will tone through splitters incase you can’t find it.
