Phone internet cable and security. Hmmm. Eldest reported seeing a van that said "communications" in my neighbors driveway this weekend. She didn't see any ladder to the pole, but the tech guy said he found the make female clip things on the ground. The wire was only pushed into the hole. Came right out. There are three lines from my house, wow, att and xfinity. None of those would have a van that says "communications"

I think I'm being drawn into a mysterious international spy game and my life could be in danger. Or.... Some dumb ass minimum wage rookie fucked up and started working on the wrong shit then realized that and said fuck it and left it.

I hope it's the spy thing. I'm going to go buy cooler clothes and a nice pair of sunglasses in case it is.

Not so funny, but possibly relevant story. My TV went out, I have Uverse for TV and Xfinity for internet. One day I leave, and come home after work and my wife had to work. The TV isn't working, I go through all the steps, reset the router, power off the boxes, blah blah blah. Call up the tech support, nothing is working. They say they'll send over a tech support, but they also threaten that if your dumbass did something and its an issue inside, they'll charge $100. Turns out that at the box outside, someone either ripped the cables out or they cut them. I know, brool story, crow.
