I have downed phone lines in my backyard. Were installed by a co. ATT took over, ATT refuses to repair. Sug?

Question

The lines were taken out during a storm and have made many phone calls to AT&T, I have ISP phone service, so the lines are not in use, however I cannot get AT&T out to fix them. Any suggestions on who to call and report this to?

Answer 1

check with your city, village, township, and then the Public Utilities Commission.

Many areas have ordinances, laws, regarding abandoned overhead cables. I know that the city of Cincinnati does, and has forced Time Warner to remove unused cable TV feeds.

Answer 2

Contact the PUC in your state.

Answer 3

Cut 'em!
