Oh yeah, we have a subcontractor for field services (sending a tech to the offices to do basic break/fix work).

Dude. Duuuuude. It makes me physically ill that these jokers probably make as much as I do. Give them a reimage disc and a script to follow, and they STILL fuck it up with regularity. And outright lie in their worklogs. We'll get "customer deferred service to <some day next week>", and find out NOBODY talked to the agent waiting with a dead laptop. I have sent some absolutely blistering emails to the contract service manager for that subcontractor, but meh...he figured out I didn't actually have any authority or clout, so he blows me off.

Find somebody with authority or clout and get them to complain for you.

Fixed it mostly.  Slapped a 16 port unmanaged gigabit switch in there and cleaned up the wiring a lot.  The coax is still a mess, but I managed to zip tie it all away.  Only 2 coax jacks work, but we only have the modem and one Comcast box so that's fine for now.  I didn't have any tools for coax so I couldn't do much in that department other get it out of the way.

BTW, this is what it looked like before

I love the cabling guide sticker on the door.

Jeez. I probably would have been fired for that O_o

The fuck is this? this is for one house? slap on a backbone while you are back there :/

I removed a lot of that crap, both Comcast and Directv added their own splitters and amplifiers.  It really isn't all that much.  It was recently constructed so they had ethernet, phone, and cable put into every room.  It's a lot cheaper to do it during construction than it is after the fact.  I expect many new homes are wired like this.

Oh god, that's a scary thought.

I personally prefer Headshoots and Syrupleaf, but you can't beat the classicness of Boatmurdered.

Headshoots? Syrupleaf? What are these?

[Facekillz058]

Just the word 'Syrupleaf' reminds of RL stuff.
Canadian RL stuff.
Like, my Grandmother got me a bottle of ketchup for Christmas. (She lives in Canada)
Canadian ketchup is awesome compared to that American crap.
I don't like America.

I loved Headshoots. Syrupleaf is too long for me too pull off without losing a entire day of my life.
