So I am getting ready to move back to NY - heading to Brooklyn. I called Time Warner to set up my cable and Internet and they say they can't do it because the apartment is in a historic building and they can't drill holes in the wall. 2 other apartments in the building have cable - this is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
Anyone have experience with this?
Do they know other people in your building have cable? Maybe they think they need to bring a cable into the building, in which case they might like to drill a hole in the front of the building, which could be an issue from a preservation standpoint. But I don't think this would be an issue with wiring that is completely inside.
Unfortunately they are aware the other 2 units have cable but have this one listed as not being wired so they won't touch it. They wouldn't send anyone over and I couldn't get much out of them. My landlord is calling tomorrow so hopefully he will make some progress.
That sucks. Is Verizon FIOS available in your area?
TIME WARNER CABLE... The power of you
I would try fios if they wont do it...
Unfortunately FIOS isn't available where I am moving - yet.
My landlord called Time Warner and supposedly straightened them out - they called me and booked an appointment for next Wednesday to set everything up so I should be in good shape. Hopefully the come through, these is already cable in the building so I am not really sure what the holdup was.
