My new apartment complex appearantly has not implemented Six Sigma for QA

[beer]

....I move in, the carpet, drywall and tile are all brand new. Pretty cool I thought. Now today I went to pick up my cable modem, plug it into the bedroom jack...no service. 30 minutes later, turns out that it works just fine in the living room :< TV doesn't work in the bedroom either, I'm pretty sure the coax jack is there, and doesn't go anywhere. Dumbfscks. How are they going to fix this without knocking holes in the drywall?

They knock holes in your neighbor's drywall.

Are you sure the living room jack is not directly on the other side of the wall from the bedroom one. If so, you can just unscrew the cover and connect them.

I'm sure there's a splitter somewhere that someone forgot to hook up, probably behind a wall plate.

I had a similar thing happen when I moved into my apt. We had no cable signal on any of the jacks. Found out that the prior tenant had hooked up satellite via the splitter in the garage. When they moved out, they didn't put the cable input back on the splitter. Took me 2 days to figure out and 30 seconds to fix.

I'm pretty sure the jack in the bedroom is wired up, but just not connected at the main box. For example, my house has 6 jacks throughout it, but the main box on the outside only has capacity for 4 to be "home-runned" (connected all the way from the box to the jack without splitters) at any given time, so 2 jacks aren't hooked (which is no big deal anyway).

Call the cable company.

6 sigma is an awfully large safety range....

They might very well have a Six Sigma program in place and your results fall within the standard deviation. You'll want to take a survey from all of your neighbors to see. Please report back ASAP.
