I had the same thing happen with Dish Network. We had cable that ran to two rooms on the first floor. We told the T not to run any additional cable. Well we discovered that they installed two additional cables on the second floor. The cable guy drilled a hole right through the siding and into the window trim in two different bedrooms. He also install a zillion clips with screws all through the siding. The cable ran around the entire house. Who does that. I contacted Dish Network got the run around that a private contractor did the install. So I contacted that guy and he said he did it and it is no big deal. Now have two holes drilled right through the house and so many screws with clips that siding will need to be replaced. I made the contractor put it in writing and will deduct it from the security deposit to replace the siding and repair and replace the window trim. I didn't hire the cable guy the tenant did.
