Who pays the electric? You or the ll? If you, get on the phone and call them to come out. Shoot, call them anyway.., they will take your call and they will investigate.

You’re more concerned about not having cable/internet then you are about a house fire.

Oh, and don’t bother thinking about withholding rent for something like this.

And I dont want to keep calling comcast every week when its not their issue. I decided to stay at a hotel this weekend just in case the situation is not resolved
It is a Comcast issue if their wires keep melting... they have to replace their wires, no? No but Comcast can work on their lines or equipment so yes, it’s a Comcast issue

Withhold March’s rent and you’ll be served an eviction notice. Your cable issues aren’t a habitability issue.. just an annoyance. Your landlord had your request and has repeatedly told you they are working on it. But go ahead and withhold that rent over internet.

I said it before.... you can call the electric company..... you can’t call an electrical contractor, but you can call the electric company ans they will advise you.

If I cant access the internet that means no working from home since the office is not an option right now

Then go find some internet... get some hot spot on your phone.... you have options. You can pick up WiFi in a Starbucks parking lot.

You expect me to know the answer to that? Call Comcast and ask them to figure it out.. its their equipment so they should be looking into it.

You can call the Cable Co BUT Cant call the Electric Co? Sounds to me you are using a Extention cord from a neighbor .stealing their Electric & have too many amps on it!

Your PC's WiFi does not require a cable connection (after all, that's the whole point of WiFi). My PC only connects by WiFi to a router in the basement. The router could just as easily be at the next door neighbors.

Now if there are no other WiFi networks near you, that is a different issue.

But why would I click on any wifi if I am connecting to my job's network?
