Current Events > Some construction company killed internet access at one of my job's buildings.

(+) Yeah! (+)

They were apparently trying to fix a crack in the concrete and ended up destroying fiber lines from AT&T, Grande, and Spectrum. They even destroyed the conduit the fiber goes through, so they can't even run more fiber through the same path until they bore a new hole.

Their boring drill also got stuck in the attempt to drill a new hole underground.

It's gonna be a long day.

So who pays for that? Is there like insurance for that.

Well, the construction company that broke it is working in tandem with the contractors from the service providers. They'd be responsible for paying the costs of fixing it, I believe.

Aaand it was fixed after 7 hours... Holy crap

Should've used a fun drill instead.

Should've used a Beedrill instead

Yeah, there's literally a sign where they were working that gives the number to "call before you dig." They killed the internet for multiple businesses for hours.
