In this case, Comcast didn't have anything to do with the failure. They were the victims, as were all the connected customers, of one utility's failure to make use of Call Before You Dig, which would ensure that they don't cut into another utility's cables.

Unless CBYD isn't available in the Villages, in which case the developer, property owners' association, Villages Homeowner Association, and the community at large should change that ASAP.

Be grateful it wasn't SECO digging into gas lines.
