Reply to comment by DENelson83 in Comcast wanted $210,000 for Internet—so this man helped expand a co-op fiber ISP | Fed up with Comcast and AT&T, Silicon Valley residents started their own network. by chrisdh79

I'm at least 50% willing to chalk this up to Comcast's general incompetence with the bonus side effect of being malicious.

Their workers cut a marked cable and the owner came out, explained the situation and markings to them, and started repairs. While he was repairing it, those Comcast workers cut 8 more marked cables across his network

Once, maybe. But there's a rich history of monopoly cable companies sabotaging their 'competitors'

I used to work for Time Warner(before it was Spectrum) and I can't tell you how many calls I got from a competitor in our area(Cincinnati Bell at the time) saying our techs cut their lines. It's insane how often this occurs.

Never attribute to incompetence that which is adequately explained by greed.
