I got internet but no email/outlook. Maybe this is reason? I dunno.

Seems MS was hit pretty hard by the outage, XBox Live being reported down, screams from basements can be heard throughout the country.

Video in from the location of the damaged cable. They said "Why would we call 811? We don't care about the traffic report."

Doesnt seem to have affected us here in Va.

Is that a boy and girl excavator looks like boy on boy.

It's hard to tell without flipping them over. But one thing is for certain, the rut came early this year.
It's all making sense now. This, THIS is the meaning of "Stuck in the Rut".

Booooooooo

Neither, it's two bull lesbians. In real life, they never look like they do in the movies. I'd accompany that with a stock pic of Rosie O'Donnel, but nobody here wants to see that shit.

1J04 has problems but over here on this side, I don't. Xfinity is Comcast, right? So everything is and has been working for me. Email included.

That's crazy, somebody was definitely trying to fuck shit up! Splicing fiber optic is time consuming and expensive. I'm guessing after the weeks or maybe months it takes to identify which fiber is which, they can start splicing. How do you trace fiber optic? I know how to do it with copper but you can't attach a tone generator to fiber optic and use a wand to track it down. What a mess. Some technicians will be making huge bucks fixing this though, I know that.

Would have seriously blown for me, my internet is through them and thus the computer and streaming services. I know if I lived around there and they didn't have a timeframe, and there was another provider, I'd probably switch to them. At least until it was unfucked. Wonder if that was the plan?

Retribution

Comcast likely did not pony up the big donations to the commie Dems this year.

I have Comcast/Xfinity. Didn’t seem to affect us at all down here in North Louisiana.

Rumor is, a internal union issue.

I hit one of those cables with a gas operated post hole digger. Took out the whole town of Llano Texas for a day. They were pissed. Yuure correct, theres thousands of those little 'wires'. From watching the guy they all appear to be color coded.

We lost internet for about eighteen hours here in central NC.
