I'm in the affected area. The contractors that they used to install the last mile fiber didn't do a great job. They not only damaged other cables like the coax but "buried" isn't how I'd describe the fiber. In the easements the fiber is only a couple inches below ground at most, in some places it was above ground and I had to bury it myself.

I do wish Comcast (and Tmobile) would use generators instead of battery backups. We get about 4 hours of internet when the power is out and I run the home router off of a generator.
