Oh, the advantages of living in Canada. If someone here would have done
that, the company lawyers would sue them so fast their head would spin.

Its funny, we had a similar deal with a telco line running through our field
held up by wire rope literally thrown over the hydro lines (by Bell
Canada)... I guess it was winter and cold... however they left it that way
all summer, and repeated calls did nothing and now the line (with the heat
of the sun on 1/4 nylon rope) was down in the grass... So... with one last
call with a warning letting them know we were taking the hay off the fields
the next day, and if it was not fixed we were NOT stopping... Once again,
that did nothing... So... the next day it was cut into dozens of pieces via
the swather, and what was left was pulled into the neighbors field. Bell
showed within hours and was told they could not run any vehicles to the poll
at this time, only foot traffic. A few days later phone service was
restored to thousands of users that goy cut (our self included)
Good times ;-)

That does stink.
A couple years ago our local cable company ran my neighbors line over my
deck. I said no, you can't do that. Then he promised he'd move it soon
when the weather cleared up. He had to run some other extension to do it
right etc. So I called in to the office and they blew me off. Then a
couple days after this line has been up, I go out on the deck and there's a
line of bird crap across my deck where they've been sitting on the line...
I called the cable company and told them what I had going on.
Then I said if it's not moved tomorrow, I'm cutting it down.
They came right out and moved it.

Does anybody else feel like the worst part of moving is actually having
to deal with the local Cable/Satellite/Internet services or lack of
service I mean???
I've waited three weeks for a certain satellite company (cough Direct
TV)... The big day was here today, I had taken a half day off work and
was waiting for my installers when I get the dreaded call... An
automated call no less asking me to reschedule on the next available
date two weeks from now... I'm obviously a little angry so I wait 30
minutes to get to an actual human... The poor customer service lady
passes me on to a supervisor who begins to tell me my local office
doesn't have any HD receivers available at this time but they will
credit me $50 for me inconvenience... At this point I'm fuming. I've
already waited three weeks, I've taken half a day off work, and now I
have to wait another two at least and take more time off work... I
simply ask can't you just come out, install the dish with a regular
receiver, and then come back when the HD receivers when they come in...
Her response was no we cannot send a technician out to your house
twice... Seriously? At which point I said cancel my entire order, which
she did and says have a great day... I was blown away... Oh well...
