So, landlord ripped out all the wires for cable/internet that were run outside of the building, without letting any of us know. I've spoken to Cox and they can't fish a wire from the basement to the second floor (where my apartment is). I work from home, so this is a pretty significant issue for me, as I'm sure you can imagine.

I've got the go-ahead from the landlord's office to pay to have the wire fished myself (of course), but I have never had to do this before and have no clue who to call.

I live in Cranston right between the Providence and Warwick lines. Any suggestions?

You want a licensed and insured electrician. Its a simple job, I ran all the low voltage wire in my house.But if I was renting I wouldn’t chance anything and hire a professional and document everything.

By "cable", I mean ethernet wire. I haven't had cable TV in years. I never watch it.

Drill a hole in the outside wall straight into the apartment. Seal with caulk as needed.

Verizon 5G home internet. No wires and WAY cheaper than Cox.
