Bad enough we are stuck with nothing to do.

I guess I'm using my phone as a hotspot until this gets fixed.

When i worked for spectrum that was something that was actually super common.

Construction, electricians, carpet renovators, etc etc.

Always cutting lines

Yup. I've seen happen to numerous companies. Construction people keep blueprints for underground electrical and sewage lines. Most could give fuck all about network lines.

God, I'm so glad I built my own home media server. If the internet goes out, I'm set for a while.

Construction guys have a bad habit about cutting wires. I'm an electrician so I deal with it quite a bit.

In Pennsylvania we have "PA one call". If you need to dig you call and the utility companies must come mark their lines and if you hit anything that's not within 6 ft of a marked line it's the utility company's fault as it should be. All states should do something similar.

When I was growing up, the contractor we hired to build our back porch accidentally cut our cable line and refused to pick up the repair costs the cable company was asking for. I didn't have cable until we moved and I started middle school

Why didn't you just sue him?

It does, video-games will be lonely for a bit.

How long does it typically take to repair.

Could've been worse.

One construction company here in Omaha was doing some work downtown and hit a gas line causing an entire damn restaurant to explode. Luckily everyone got out before the flames took the place over.

Happened in January while it was like 5 degrees outside so with all the firetrucks blasting the place it turned into this beautifully creepy ice covered building:



Hard to believe it's been four years but it's fully restored now.

Looks like it'd be some sort of winter haunted house.

Good news: the internet is back, I heard stories where it took weeks, so I was a little nervous how long it'd take.
