If you got your cable buried, please let me know the secret.  Ours was cut by road crew in June, spliced and then broken by the first bury crew in July.  

New cable laid July 21 and after days of calls, hours on hold, and being hung up on more than once, at least three techs sent to “repair”, all who took pictures of cable on ground and said they’d put in escalated bury tickets, we STILL have cable running through easement - susceptible to county mowing crews - and have been told at least 5 different times usually 10-14 days to schedule.  
Today is October 5th and was told again today by Community Forum agent that a bury order was placed 10/01 and to wait 10-14 days. This was after receiving automated email on 10/01 that service call was scheduled for 10/05 between 8a and 9p.  Unreal!  Anyway, if you have your cable buried yet, please share what worked for you?  Thanks!!
