How do I get actual help?

Your automated system is terrible!

My utility company has dug up and cut my cable line. Not enough to stop the connection, just severely slow it down. My cable line is currently laying on the ground duct taped in 3 places. 

Neither your chat nor your phone system will let me report it or talk to a human. How am I supposed to get some actual help?!
