Why does the cable company always give you such a broad window of when they're going to come by?

Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I believe it is because they are never sure how involved setting up someone's cable could be, not everyone had easy homes/apts for setting up cable, and nowadays with all these companies that bundle cable, phone and internet it takes even longer. I know when we had our installed last time it took him almost 2hrs because we had internet, digital phone and cable to get hooked up..luckily military housing here already had the lines running into the house and outlets for it all already installed, not everyone has that done already. I could be completely off but I think that is the most logical reasoning.

1. The big no. of clients and low no. of employees
2. If the provider bundles internet&telephony they have to set it up in their servers before doing all the wires
3. Possible lack of infrastructure in the area (if they have no cables around they'll have to set up a main cable in your area usually fiber optics)
4. Traffic ? lol
5. Possible problems that they might encounter with setting up the infrastructure to your area and setting/testing the wires to/in your house
6. If you want to sound like a serious company you'll always add some extra time to your deadline so that you'll always finish on time...
