So, I was doing some yard work yesterday and I accidentally cut my internet/cable wire. It comes out of the ground and feeds into the house. It was covered in weeds and I didn't see it, I thought I was just chopping those weeds up, after I saw that I cut that cable and thought it was just a cable from a previous installation from former tenants here, as they ran new wires for my current tv/internet service. Later in the evening I turn on the TV and.... nothing! I get on the computer and... nothing! :mad:

They're going to send out a repair man tomorrow, I hope they don't charge me. :unsure:
 
Apparently I knocked out my neighbors internet and TV too so they called a tech out and they were fixing it when I got home.
 
Did they charge you for the repair?

I guess I'll find out when I get my next bill.

I hope they don't charge you since this was an accident. Plus, they should have had that cable marked or colored so people can see it.
 
Now my cable box in the living room went out. They're going to give me a new one on Monday i think.
 
We have Centurylink and some times their Internet will disconnect from the server every now and than. Pretty frustrating.
