FLP has already finished work in our area of Port Charlotte near Ollie's pond, two days ago.  I have a downed com wire between the pole in front of my house to a pole at the street corner. I called it in last Monday. No updates and as far as I've seen, no Comcast trucks. I work from home as well, and camping the Punta Gorda library is not a great option from service I'm still paying for. Where are you guys?

Hello @user_ec00da I will make sure the cable line is moved and check for an update on restoring service to the area. Can you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address?

still no updates. still no appointment. still a hazardous wire that my kids and pet can be injured from. this is the worst erxperience. everyone on my block has working internet. Yet my kids are in home school and they cant even attend . The home school supervisor even told me the rest of people in cape coral, florida are already back in class. Yet - I am still here with a downed wire. And after 100 messages to support - still nothing resolved. I am just thinking of switching to Q Fiber (century link) after this to be honest.
