For example, Comcast and Spectrum&#8217;s\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tipwho.com\/article-category\/tipping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">tipping<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0policies prohibit workers or outside contractors from accepting tips; many other cable companies have the same approach. As a result, cable guys don&#8217;t expect tips.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_You_Tip_Cable_Installers_Short_Answer\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Do You Tip Cable Installers (Short Answer)<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You don&#8217;t have to tip cable installers, and they won&#8217;t expect a tip from you. Tipping the cable guy is not customary, and cable companies have policies prohibiting their installers from accepting money from customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Want_To_Tip_How_Much_Do_You_Tip_The_Cable_Installer\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Want To Tip? How Much Do You Tip The Cable Installer?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You might feel like tipping your cable installer because he came when it was freezing and snowing outside, set up your new 70-inch television, the size of the job was large, or he went out of his way to help you. Who doesn&#8217;t appreciate good service from the cable guy?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you feel your cable guy deserves a tip, a good rule of thumb is that a tip of $5 to $10 is an appropriate amount. It&#8217;ll be appreciated, even though they make a good wage. Don&#8217;t feel offended if they must turn you down when you try to tip due to company policy. Unfortunately, these tipping policies can turn a thoughtful gesture into an awkward exchange.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Instead of offering a tip \u2013 or if they can&#8217;t accept one \u2013 you could offer your cable installer a cold drink like a glass of water on a hot day and a warm drink on a cold one.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Do_Cable_Installers_Make\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How Much Do Cable Installers Make?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ziprecruiter.com\/Salaries\/Cable-Installer-Salary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">According to ZipRecruiter<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, the median salary for a cable installer is $43,582 per year. However, salaries can range from $19,500 to $80,000 per year, depending on experience, location, and other factors. It&#8217;s a relatively well-paid job, so cable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipwho.com\/article\/do-you-tip-window-installers\/\">installers don&#8217;t rely on tips<\/a>, unlike minimum-wage employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_The_One_Thing_The_Cable_Installer_Would_Appreciate_More_Than_a_Tip\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What&#8217;s The One Thing The Cable Installer Would Appreciate More Than a Tip?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cable installers appreciate customers who are prepared for the visit. Don&#8217;t miss your appointment time, make sure the problem area is accessible, and if you have a new TV, have it set up already. Your cable guy is not a TV installer. That&#8217;s part of our responsibility, not theirs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_Get_Free_Stuff_Like_Extra_Channels_By_Tipping_The_Cable_Installer\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Can I Get Free Stuff Like Extra Channels By Tipping The Cable Installer?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The number one reason people want to know if they should tip the cable installer is that there&#8217;s a widespread assumption that it&#8217;s an excellent way to get free stuff, like extra channels. This assumption is also why most cable companies, like Spectrum and Comcast, don&#8217;t allow their workers to accept money from customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Still thinking about giving your cable guy a little extra cash in exchange for free stuff, like premium channels? Tips in exchange for &#8216;free&#8217; channels are becoming less common now since most cable providers block it outright or can detect it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Your cable guy can&#8217;t add channels that you didn&#8217;t subscribe to, or if they can, the cable company can detect it remotely. Once the cable company sees your house has &#8216;free&#8217; channels, the cable guy will lose his job, at a minimum. That&#8217;s a steep price to pay for accepting your gratuity. It&#8217;s illegal and increasingly risky as advances in monitoring are making it a thing of the past. So, don&#8217;t try offering a tip in exchange for &#8216;free&#8217; channels.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_You_Tip_The_Cable_Repair_Guy\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Do You Tip The Cable Repair Guy?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It is not necessary or expected to tip the cable repair guy for fixing your house&#8217;s cable.

Here are some of the most common questions people ask about tipping the professionals that install cable internet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Introduction to cable internet<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Are you getting new cable service in your house, switching providers, or fixing an issue with the existing service? Your cable service provider connects you with the world around us through cable-based TV, phones, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipwho.com\/article-category\/internet\/\">internet<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While it&#8217;s a bit of an exaggeration, it often seems that we can&#8217;t live without TV and the internet in our homes. According to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration,\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ntia.doc.gov\/blog\/2019\/cutting-cord-ntia-data-show-shift-streaming-video-consumers-drop-pay-tv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">73% of all American households have a cable or satellite television subscription<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Of the remaining 27% who don&#8217;t have cable or satellite TV packages, 40% use their internet connection to stream shows through Netflix, Amazon Prime, Sling TV, and others instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Thankfully, when you need to have cable installed at your house or a cable problem fixed, scheduling a visit with a cable guy is only a phone call away.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Should I tip the FIOS guy?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">No, you don&#8217;t need to tip the\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/home\/internet\/fios-fastest-internet\/bundles\/ \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">FIOS<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0guy, and tips aren&#8217;t expected, either. It&#8217;s just not a thing to tip the FIOS installer for installing the internet. It also goes against company guidelines to accept tips from customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What FIOS installers appreciate most are customers that are ready for their visit. Make sure you&#8217;re at home for your appointment time, clear the area they will be working around, and if they&#8217;re installing a TV, make sure it&#8217;s already set up.<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Are you supposed to tip Verizon technicians?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">No, you don&#8217;t have to tip Verizon technicians. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipwho.com\/article\/why-are-americans-expected-to-tip-tipping-in-america\/\">Tipping isn&#8217;t expected and goes against their company guidelines to accept tips<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Should I tip the Optimum guy?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tipping the\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optimum.com\/tv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Optimum<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0guy is unnecessary, but it is always appreciated.

That doesn&#8217;t mean your technician won&#8217;t take a tip since the company is unlikely to find out about it. Still, most technicians won&#8217;t accept tips, and it&#8217;s rare for customers to offer them in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">List 5 services that you typically do not need to leave a tip for below<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Five services that you don&#8217;t need to leave a tip for include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">1.
