Thanks James, That explains the initial delay.
(Why they measured gas "by the drop" later is another matter...)
The name on the box is alpha , it is battleship grey.
I used to get the Comcast electric bill for that pole, as it is next to
my mail box. (I stopped that quick, but it still took months...)
When they open it to repair stuff, (as they are always doing),
it looks like it has rack mounted computers in it. Thin, with fans
facing out the front (until they close the solid door -- might be the
reason they have to come out a lot...)
The generator was a Honda(?) 3500w portable (or something).
They only have 12 left as the cable they "chain them down with" is not
too strong and a lot got stolen... But I bet they saved a LOT of money
buying cheap security cables!!! ROTFLMAO
Another chaper opens:
The story just keeps going and going... And now I'm an actual witness too...
While looking at that box, a tractor trailer hit some (low hanging) wires
and ripped them down 25 feet from me... Ripped the wires off the wall
of the house across the street (including two meter panels) and dragged
them thirty feet throught the yard, ripping the 200A cables from under their
lugs where the wires entered the house... (Hit and run, but the truck stopped
at the first "big parking lot" a mile from here, if that counts...)

I'm really surprised they went as far as furnishing a generator. It
seems it would be enormously expensive to put out generators for all
their customers during an outage.
