yeah..they actually deal with 2 different unions. the international brotherhood of electrical workers(which im in) and the communication workers of america. my local is trying to organize more techs in jersey under comcast but its hard cause they union bust alot and intimidate their workers. how long did it take you to do a triple play?

Always depended on the home as you may know. But usually a good 45 minutes to 1 hour.
