My installers were SG Chinese, they automatically went to cover the hole with trunks or whatever that liquid-clay-thingy was.

mine was done by FT and he did all the patching up sui sui. as it was just after CNY i gave him a angpao.....

my experience with them were not good.

they came to my house (since im renting the house) and suddenly the Opennet called me asking for approval letter from the house owner.

they didnt tell me in the first place and they had to cancel it the installation.

time wasted and they did some drilling ald..

Don't need to 'force' mah, just tell them you wish to have the TP install in your bedroom lor else by default the installation point is in the living room.

Ok, heard from other bros that they take some time to force the contractors install at their preferred locations.:s22:

Of course mah, installation in living room is usually much closer to the DP/riser area so able to finish quicker. For my case, I install in my room and it took the contractor about an hour to complete.

Hmmm, I think I will have a easier time asking the contracter to put in my room, my tv console is stuck to the wall, not easily accessible:D

How can we verify how much cable was actually used? The contractors can put down any length to sabo the houseowner right?

The cable runs had the length in meters printed.
Which is why the contractors know how much cable was used easily

Now, while it is unlikely, if you're still afraid of cheating in papers, do monitor the installers while they're doing their job. Look at the numbers on both end and count the difference.

Indeed, they play punk, they told me the tv need fiber in the future, then insist i install in the Living Room, and computers can use wireless, and wireless is faster than wire
talked too them for about 20 minutes, thenn they finally listen to me when i said who can pridict what will happen tomorrow, and not to mention the tv part is only for IPTV.

if they charge u then u bother if not dont bother,
u can just use measuring tape roughly measure the distant.
for some they dont charge even if the length exceeded the 15m/

:s22::s22:

Btw, here's our conversation(the general point as i understood)
Me: I want the tp to be in my room, where all the computers were at.
ON: in the future, TV need fiber, computer can go wireless.
Me: They won't just build any infrastructure and not use it.
ON: in the future, TV need fiber, computer can go wireless.
Me: Wireless is slower than wire..
ON: Wireless where got slow
Me: Wireless is really slower than wire.....
ON: Wireless won't be slow.
Me: Wireless is really slower than wire, trust me..........
ON: *looks undecided, i think he went to find his head, cause i went back to my room while i let him talk to my mother*
ON head: Told me the same BS(to cut things short)
Me: Who can predict what will happen tomorrow, and further more, if tv really need fiber in the future, i would pay for thr tp relocation....
ON head: Then you need to understand that we will write this(like you insist to put tp in a not recommended spot, ish your problem in the future)
Me: fine with me

Then they start to drill:o
