Exactly, 26 years installing catv and it only got worse every year.It takes skill to do this job much much more than just installing telephone as a verizon technician and they get paid much more with benefits.With cable theres boxes that never work,mtas that never work,bad ports on taps bad phone ports ,old bad lines everywhere that you dont get paid to replace, 2 or 3 pole ariel drops are done for free now.I got out of cable before I turned 44 this month and hope to attend a two year community college for alternative energy.These MSOs have totaly ruined this industry and that includes maintenence , new build construction and fiber construction, pole placements, you name it. So I say screw them and let them fall to pieces.Remember it takes much more skill to do this job than what they pay for wich is shit.
