Of course, when I called and let them know about the problem on Saturday, the earliest they could send someone out was this Friday.
I suspect it may have something to do with the snow+ice we recently got. Or the comcast trucks that were roaming the neighborhood (or the one that stopped outside my house with the tech. who did something to the cable up on the pole at about midnight Sunday morning).
It's CRAPcastic.
Oh well.
