We had a contractor digging in our yard today

He was carefully avoiding the areas marked for utilities

Then he cut through our cable for TV and internet

He showed me the markings were over 2 feet away

The cable company said they will repair the broken cable tomorrow

Having no cable means we have no wifi, internet or TV

You forget how much you rely on these things

Until they suddenly disappear

I could not upload anything from my laptop

Our music streaming went down

We could no longer access any smart devices from our phones

The security cameras went offline

We had to cancel video chats with family

I had to write this post on my phone and upload it through a cellular network

My efforts to incorporate and image of the broken cable all ended in failure and error messages

I do hope we get normal service resumed soon
