I think the "splicing" allegation is that he did it in the phone
closet, bypassing normal service delivery which would be to a
residence where the service was ordered. The splicing term may also be
a journalist's word choice. Essentially, based on the article, they're
saying he hooked up his modem someplace he wasn't paying for service,
which is somewhat understandably a no-no in Comcast's eyes, though
whether they can make the case for suing him is another question.
