Lorraine Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 This is what pissed me off today. For the second time in two weeks, the garbage truck ripped out our Comcast cable. Last week, they only ripped the cable away from our home. This week, they really did a number - ripped it off the utility pole and off our home. So bad, that he had to stop and own up to it on account of the fact that the cable tangled itself around his garbage truck. It took a few hours to get someone from Comcast here. The person they sent, while nice and thorough, didn't move very fast. But it's fixed now. :) :ebert: :ebert: :ebert: :hi: They should have at least stapled the line to your house. Not just leave it on the ground. It was stapled to the house. The garbage truck yanked it off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably a 30 foot run from the connection box by the street. They don't and won't do that out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around here the utility poles are high enough that no garbage truck would be able to rip wires down. Edited August 20, 2016 by J2112YYZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we just have people that drive moving trucks into our parking lot main drive and don't even LOOK at the height signs that are strung up, and hang just below the wires themselves. Our lines [to my building] have been ripped down twice since I moved here in 2012.....once in 2014, and again last year. Both people tried to 'get away' but I and others took pics of the trucks and the licence plates, and both were payed for by the companies responsible for the driver's actions. I think the people who were driving the trucks need their eyes plucked out, since they didn't seem to use them at all........ http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Banana%20World/bananafukfreak.gif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our connecting cable is fifteen feet off the ground. 14 feet is the minimum height required by law. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our last house the phone line was (badly) stapled to the side of the house over the kitchen window. It would pull loose in bad storms and be dangling over the window and our phone service would be on and off (this was before cell phones.) One time the repair guy showed up and said, "Little lady doesn't like looking at a wire out the window, huh?" I wanted to slug him! With 3 toddlers, I needed a phone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did it last week too, but last week I didn't lose my internet service. this week, he entangled the garbage truck in the cable and pulled it right out. They drive too fast up the road. The speed limit is 25. They come barreling down the road doing 40. Most people out here bring their garbage to the transfer station because it is much cheaper doing it that way, so there aren't a lot of homes for the garbage truck to stop at. That's why they drive so fast. But this time i called them (the garbage collection company) up and filed a complaint. I'll keep my fingers crossed for next Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
