Unfortunately the proliferation of Sky dish installations has
attracted a lot of cowboys into the business, who do many per day to a
mediochre standard.

We had Telewest cable in several years ago, and to test the line was in,
one bloke dropped to all fours and put his tongle across the phone line.
I was shocked - I asked him where his multimeter was, and he said they
weren`t supplied with any.

Would have been great if they`d nicked the electricity service cable in
the process and got 240V down there instead !

This wasn`t a "local" cable installer problem, as a friend 15 miles away
under another Telewest contract area saw the same "test" carried out on
his installation too.
