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.
