#cable cutting

Sky joins other Telcos and LGUs to battle the cable cutting and theft that affects cable TV and internet services. "Illegal cable cutting is a disservice to our customers. It leads to disruptions in cable TV and internet service. Together with our customers, we have been victimized by perpetrators who steal and sell the copper wires for profit or recklessly cut and damage our cable wires without regard to the disruption it causes to our internet and cable service. This illegal act robs our customers of the steady internet and cable TV service they need for entertainment and access to information and disrupts connectivity required for work," the manifesto stated. SKY's chief operating officer Claudia Suarez said this is the "first big step in the telco and cable TV industry”. The joint manifesto also stated the implementation of RA 10515 which is known also as the Cable theft Law, it’ll perpetrators either pay heavy fines imposed by the court or face two to five years of imprisonment. SKYcable has launched a campaign called "Oplan Kontra Putol" which plans to combat the growing number of intentional cable-cutting incidents that are disrupting internet access and cable services in the country.
