How To Troubleshoot Your Own Fremont CA Cabling Services

By Larry Ward


Having trouble with your cable service is a problem that a lot of people face. I have worked in the cable industry for a major cable provider for several years. I would like to share my knowledge with other people so they can attempt to correct the problem themselves. More than half the time I was called to a customer's home, the problem turned out to be something very minor that the customer could have fixed on their own. Here are a few things you can check before you call your Fremont CA cabling Services provider.

Since technology is advancing, cable services are being challenged by a new innovation in information transfer. This competitor is fiber optics, and it is starting to hurt the cable service industry so bad. As an example, Verizon has opted to utilize this technology, which makes cable service companies look less of a better option.

Simply put, fiber optics are means of transferring data in a faster way. Its primary component is light, which makes the fast transfer of information or data possible. Generally, light has the fastest speed, which entails a faster speed of information transfer. Comparing both mediums, the latter would indeed look like a mediocre since it would be slow as compared to the former. Why then is cable slower? Among the main reasons why is due to the fact it uses copper as the main medium for information transfer; usually, data are translated to an electrical signal. Based on research, electrical signals are not a hundred percent accurate, and it entails a certain number of data losses.

Firstly, check your modem and determine if the correct LEDs are lit. You can check with the modem manufacturer to figure out the correct pattern of lights to look for. If the modem is lit up correctly and appears to be locked on, the next thing to do is check the RF signal to your modem.

Considering general safety, coaxial cables produces sparks, which some consider as environmental hazards. It could start a fire or harm other equipment at hand. With this small sparks, it can cause huge problems or hazards in general. Fiber optics is not electrically involved, so it is generally safe to use and less prone to fire accidents.

Something that many consumers do not know is they are charged for many things that they do not have any control over. Service providers also charge their consumers for the marketing costs they use to attract new customers and keep the ones they already have. If you can cut the cost of the marketing fees and the extra channel fees that appear on your bill, you can save up to 35% alone. Luckily for you, there are organizations of experts who offer free reports to those who want better quality and service on the cable.

Checking your computer is more complicated, and as such, there is not enough time to go into detail about this. Seek assistance from a computer tech if you suspect your computer has a problem.

Another added benefit of bundling is that you get one bill, one bill payment or check to send out, and everything is itemized in one place. There's a bit of simplicity in that and it can make your life a little easier, even when you don't count the cash savings. So the next time you are looking at cable service, check out for bundle deals. You could save a bundle!
