My cable provider (Brighthouse) thankfully isn't as bad as Comcast. I only use cable internet; I have DirecTV for TV. The wire used to run from a pole in the corner of our backyard, to the house. When my internet went down, they sent out a guy to check it, and he said the wiring was going bad and needed replacement. I off-handedly mentioned that I wish it could be buried, and when I came back out 10 minutes later, he had already dug the trench and put in conduit for the cables.
