Important light states to note

  • If the US and DS lights are BLINKING but the Online light is OFF, the Cable service may not yet be activated on our end. This typically occurs within one business day of your Cable service connection appointment. If you have any concerns, please call us on 13 22 58 and we'll be happy to help.
