The phone company reps apparently told Tony, on the phone, that it wasn't really a problem if the wires weren't down.

At the moment it is suspended by the power lines. This is a gigantic, full-sized, regal tree, which could cause epic damage to their home if it should fall.<br /><br />Also, I am amazed that this happened so long ago.Jake Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661158372662154515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14080323.post-30847935590648294212011-02-25T15:50:07.974-06:002011-02-25T15:50:07.974-06:00Chris!!!

Verizon just left my mother's low income housing facility after re-attaching a cable to the side of the house and left two HUGE ruts in the yard where they backed up their pole truck. <br /><br />So I went to google to see what recourse her landlord would have and ran across your post. I can't figure out how to find the rest of your posts on this subject. I'm dying to know how it turned out. <br /><br />I won't even begin to try to get VZ to do anything about the ruts they've left here. What a HORRIBLE company. My email is sacccb@verizon.net if you'd care to email me. I live on Cape Cod, Hyannis. I thought at first they only do this type of thing to the poor but apparently they don't care who they damage.<br /><br />I just recently dumped them as my business phone provider and will be dumping them as my DSL provider ASAP.<br /><br />I hope this doesn't bring back any bad memories for you since it's been a half decade since it happened.<br /><br />ANNA C.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
