Hiya guys,
I was pointed to this forum by a friend as i have a bit of a question needs answering
Ok, we had a massive thunder storm 2 sundays ago, and our house was struck by lightening.
It knocked out the internet,phone and cable tv (everything telewest) all other power stayed on.
Now this knocked out the telewest services in our whole postal area, but they are now back on but we are not.
Reason being is because our cable line runs up the side of our house and all the way over the top
surely this is wrong and dangerous??? This cable must of been what the lightening hit.
When the lightening struck my fiance had the PC keyboard in his hand the thing sparked and gave him a shock, and the cable box smelled burnt obviously, the telewest veiwing card is burnt too. so its knackered the box wont even turn on.
we have an engineer coming tommorrow, now my question is, do we tell them the house was hit? as im not sure they would cover natural disasters so to speak?
Or should we tell them cos they should not have run the cable over the roof so its their fault and they have caused a danger?#
cheers for helping a newbie
