Tree fell, took out my internet

Hi Everyone, a tree fell in my yard yesterday and took out my power, telephone and cable (read internet). Tree was hollow and full of ants, darn thing looked healthy as can be on the outside.

Power is restored, telephone is restored (both yesterday!).

Darn cable company says maybe tomorrow....

I hate the cable company.

but at least I'm still sober

Online now thru cell phone so just a quick visit. I'll check in as soon as the cable company gets motavated.

Ahhhh, the age old question.

If a tree falls at Grouchos, does the internet still work ?

I just strongly dislike mine. Did they give you the old "we'll be there inbetween 8am and 2 pm, someone must be there to wait for us anywhere within that timeframe" thing?
