In case you were wondering why Xfinity suffered a major outage a few days ago, the company issued the following statement:
We’re aware you experienced an interruption to your Xfinity services on November 25, when some of our fiber-optic cables in your area were severely damaged in multiple locations due to vandalism. Our Xfinity crews worked quickly to identify and complete the complex repairs along the line.
We know time without service can be frustrating and appreciate your patience during these outages. Due to the location and severity of the damage, repairs took longer than we anticipated, and we apologize for the length of the outage.
Why we can't have nice things, reason #_____.

It happened on the evening of the college football rivalry weekend and more specifically during halftime of the iron bowl (Alabama vs. Auburn)!
Now, I should think we are at least owed mug shots of these "vandals" behind these "acts of vandalism" once they are caught and a full complete investigation to insure the culprits aren't something more detrimental to society, such as Hallmark Movie Mercenaries.

Is there an opening for mercenaries against Hallmark broadcasters? Hallmark soap actors? Hallmark piano music? Hallmark camera lens greasers? What a target rich environment.
They probably thought they were stealing copper.
@5:05. JPS needs to teach the criminal class the difference between fiber optic and copper.
My question is, why? Multiple locations? Sounds very strange to me.
We are screwed if we can not function with ought something many of of did not have in our homes 10 years or less ago!
Another perception of crime in Jackistan. Right?
9:18 without?
40 years ago, nobody had Internet access at home except for a tiny handful of computer science professors and their students. But try living without an email address today. 150 years ago, nobody had a telephone. Again, try living in modern society without one.
This is an attack on the basic infrastructure of modern life and should be punished as such. You don’t mess around with the US Postal System, and you shouldn’t mess around with the internet infrastructure.
Other than most inmates, who did not have cable TV ten years ago?

You didn’t have internet or tv service in your home in 2013? Wow. Must suck to be poor like you
A friend in the business tells me that fiber optic lines are often vandalized by would-be thieves who think they contain copper.
they likely thought it was copper, when they saw it was not they went to a new spot to try again. to paraphrase "meth is a helluva drug"
ATT phone / internet outage in NW Clinton area this week. Some folks took approx 50 yards of elevated cable on Tinnin Road.
We all know the underlying cause of this is drugs and theft to purchase drugs. We have always had drugs and theft around, but within the past 30 years crime related to drugs and the type of drugs that are worse than humankind has ever known has changed our society immensely. There is no way to stop this. Every enemy we have is fueling this to promote decay to our society and especially the family unit. Just think what kind of nation this would be if you took illegal substances out of the picture. Don’t leave out alcohol and what bootlegging did to society, although, bootlegging helped fund our Continental Army during the Revolution and one of our favorite past times Stock Car Racing was born out of men who could tune their cars to outrun the law. Alcohol has destroyed many people and families so I want to at least say that, but illegal drugs that are so dangerous as they are today are making zombies out of people who some that I know were functioning contributors of society. Now that pot is legal for medical use that will open up a whole new can of worms because many will obtain that and proceed forth to stronger drugs. Our society is screwed and screwed up very bad. The mental health issue is a byproduct of illegal drugs. Just talk to an addict and you will see. Try to employ one and you will see. Just hold on folks, it’s only going to get worse.
I used to splice cable for the cable company and the phone company.
We have had to replace spans of cable because it was shot with a shotgun.
Thats one way to piss off the neighbors.
@7:57 AM - 100% true! Thanks to Biden for the open border that allows literally tons of fentanyl and other illegal drugs, gangs, and terrorists into the U.S. Also a big FU to the assholes who voted for him.
December 2, 2023 at 10:49 PM and December 4, 2023 at 10:31 AM are you the same person? Or brothers of a different mother?
Your "perception of crime" comment doesn't float as this outage went far beyond Jackson. And then you or your first cousin find a way to blame Biden? Go back into your hole.
spring gun traps will stop that
