Comcast blows (and perjures themselves)

After I noticed the internet wasn’t working and the blinky lights on the modem looked wrong, verified it wasn’t the wireless router, and spent 22 minutes on the phone with customer service, we verified that there was no signal coming into the house. At this point I noticed a Comcast truck in the lot of our townhouse complex. I moseyed (mosied?) on over and found out that this here inch-thick-cable had been chopped off.

There was some construction work going on today, repaving the path that links our group of townhomes to the next one over. Looks like the result of a careless construction worker.

I was reassured that Comcast was on sight at the time. Missy said the internet had been working all afternoon, so it had to have just happened. All in all it took them about four hours to get it fixed.
