True dat. There will never be a story about how many dozens of times that I have personally rolled on calls where DirecTv, Dish Network, or Verizon has outright vandalized Comcast property and customer lines during their professional installations.

I had one where a dish installer had cut the actual drop to the house right at the attachment and the customer knew he did it before he left. When the customer told him that his internet service wasn't working, the guy told him to "call Comcast", refusing to splice the cable back together, which would have taken all but 3 minutes of his time and at least gave him service back until we got there to replace it. When I got there, I not only repaired his internet service, but I also re-installed his video as well, as the customer had the Dish receivers packed in boxes with a shipping label before I even had him sign off on the job.

It happens everywhere, but because it happened when Comcast is in the wrong, it makes the front page here. Awesome journalism, folks!
