dish and direct are good subcontract/contracts to be getting. Comcast ain't bad but some of the comcast master contractors or top tier contractors are not that great at paying or treating their subcontractors/installers. How I know... I have a friend at Comcast, I do a lot of the Fire alarms for their offices/facilities.

Hmm maybe ill go for dish, but i like comcast more as a service provider... i'll see.

I am getting paid $9.00 for singles and $18.00 for doubles burying cable. Should that be more? I am doing about 70 jobs a week with about 7 doubles a week.

comcast.... hahaha..... I have to say comcast is a shady company when it comes to vendor payment. I did some fire sprinklers for them at one of their local offices... they didn't pay for almost 7 months even though the job passed inspection.

You find the contractor that does the work in the area. Where are you wanting to go to work?

jmentonjr · 10-16-2009, 05:58 AM

southeast MA and RI, I know who the contractors are around here allready doing it, but i dont think they'd want to tell me how to get the jobs as I'd be taking from them. I'm a utility locater in the area so i get to see all the jobs coming in, and there's a ton.

For what it's worth I was there putting in some pipe for a new cctv install, he just happen to be onsite.

We do repair work for Comcast and their local sub RWL. Repairs to the home when they screw up. Lots of sheetrock. I know that the individual subs for RWL are supposed to have their own insurance. The problem is that they don't want to make a claim for $500 and risk getting canceled. They usually pay out of pocket.

I am trying to get some Comcast work in MD and was wondering if I could get the application for applying to be a Comcast contractor (bean036@hotmail.com).

Thanks!

HennikerJ · 11-11-2009, 07:45 PM

If the application and conected info exists, I'd like a look at if someone would be willing to pass it along.
Thanks
