What does Obama have to do with a network outage? Do you really think Comcast does not want to keep its infrastructure up and running? These things run on 97% profit. If you dont have customers you gots no profits. Blaming Presidents and shit for private businesses are dumb as hell cunt.

It's her poor attempt at a joke. Her and her husband are both hardcore shills for the Democrats.

That made my day. You would probably be right if the right-of-way owners (municipalities, counties and state) couldn't force the utilities to move or re-arrange on a whim for whatever right-of-way improvements some ass-hat thinks needs done (called obligatory expenses in the industry). Oblig is the biggest reason everyone doesn't have fiber into their house. Oblig budgets are massive compared to improvement and upgrade budgets and eat up almost all of an infrastructure ISP's profits. Worse, you can't really predict what is going to happen year-to-year when you have to deal with so many jurisdictions wanting bike paths, widening, bypasses, sidewalks, trees, trails, nature corridors, green spaces, parks,.... blah blah blah.

It's just the price of using pubic right-of-way. Google is finding out where they have rolled out Google Fiber that oblig costs in the public rights of way are really the biggest costs, which is probably why the ran away from Portland. Portland government = zero self-control.

I may be in a bit of a bubble since the municipality i work with owns their own power, and poles. I have seen the big power companies do things like this with ZERO reason why. At&t is doing tens of thousands of feet of underground boaring to get around this, but in the city we are like " dont get too close to the power and dont cut a tree down". They were very helpful when we had an idiot plant a tree right on top of our 48 strand to the 911 dispatch call center breaking two tubes. However i still have a very low opinion the @home comcast boondoggle in early 2000s.
