wnaplay1647545503 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Cable companies usually do them for free if you turn on the service to each outlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 problem is, i dont know how to get to them. i know theres attic access if needed, but i dont believe there is a lot of room to move around. plus, i dont know how easy/hard it would be to go down to the basement if needed, because its a 3 level split, and the bedrooms are over the basement area maybe nitrousbird will chime in...doesnt he still work for wow?

Rally Pat Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 It depends on the house, really. I think its pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Most cable companies do a crap job of running cable. I've seen alot run outside of a house, or though the basement up through the floor. A good electrician would be able to do a clean and professional install. Cost just depends on accessability. If i had more free time I'd offer my services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 WOW does them all the time. Wall fishing costs more than a wall-pop/floor pop. Standard rate is $29.99 trip charge, $19.99 per outlet, $15 per wall fished. I've done more outlets than I would care to admit to. And sometimes a line does have to be run outside, unless you are willing to tear up some drywall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
