I agree as long as the jacket is UV rated then its OK no need for gel is its not buried . no comment on the rest ....

cat got your tongue? lol

plus I learned what the phone company charges for a line repair! I am definitely under cutting them!

and giving the customer just what he pays for ....

I love phone jobs! I just put a phone outlet into my dad's home so his satellite box can talk to direct tv. Luckily the kitchen was on the otherside of the wall and there was an existing jack there. First we moved his entertainment table and then I drilled into his wall. Then I enlarged the hole so that a phone jack would fit into it. The next thing was to take the existing wall plate off and run the glowrod up from the new hole. Luckily there was a stud up against the existing hole so I could just run the glow rod up against that to find the hole
The existing jack is one that has a coax outlet and a phone outlet so it was wired in with a network connector. As such I, unfortunately, had to cut the wire and beanie into it.

What more could I have given him? I give excellent customer service and I explain what I'm doing as I do it. I guess could have tried to fix his outlet but he wanted a new one and I didn't think of that until after I had already made a hole in his wall. (I kinda have a one track mind. At my dad's today I was chewing something when he asked me to help move his TV. Obediently I grabbed one side of the TV forgetting what was in my mouth.)

Ohhhh, I get it! That was an insult. Cut-rate prices = cut-rate service.

I have to say I disagree! I don't think I give cut-rate service.

Sound pretty sure of yourself. If you are THAT sure, get a real PRO to check your work. If HE says it looks professional, fine & dandy. If not, time to improve one's ability and attitude.

well I do know that after I was finished line two sounded clearer than the primary line.

plus after I realized that I shouldn't have attached the phone cable to the satellite lines I emailed him why that shouldn't have been done and offered to come fix it. He told me that this was the way he wanted it and not to worry about it.
