ay-ch not hay-ch

that was a bad tl;dr. In the box in the basement where the signal gets split to the multiple tenants of the apartment, it was setup so the guy in quesiton had the shittiest signal, and a guy with a trap filer(which meant he was only subscribed to basic TV) had the best signal. The tech let him swap his wire and the wire of the guy with the trap, so that his signal would be better.

The box was owned by the landlord so he wasn't allowed to switch them, he didn't exactly let the guy do it either. Before going to his van to get a tool, he told the guy what tools were needed and how long it takes to switch them out, and when he came back he asked the guy to point out which line was his, because he forgot which one, and pointed out it's advantageous position.
