At least this outage is not local. It took me months to get them to replace the coaxial aerial run from the pole to my house that had been compromised and had liquid water inside the cable and enough pressure to force said water around the cable loops, inside my house, and into the splitter. Water-caused signal attenuation was making for some bad service quality.
I need to consider my plans for obtaining backup Internet. The only real choice is 4G and the only way to pull that off is to somehow run a hoist up into one of the very old, mature oak trees on my property to get an antenna way up above the house (thinking like we do with ham radio antenna runs). I have no usable cell signal in the house except through the personal cell that uses the comcast connect to get back to the carrier.
Before letting one's walls fill with water, one might have made a small hole in the jacket just before the cable entered the house, to let it run out where it couldn't do any damage...
