Att Uverse fiber damaged

ask your neighbor to share their wifi for a couple weeks.

You have zero chance to repair it yourself and even less so if a splice is required.

I'd call around to commercial cabling companies and see if they can do it quicker. Then send the bill to the concrete company.

Yeah it takes specialization to repair that stuff. Where I used to live on the TX/LA had a road construction in E. TX sever the main E/W fiber trunk line resulting in cops being stationed at every bank in the affected area for 2 weeks as the Fed Reserve Bank Line was part of the outage.

If it takes AT&T 2 weeks to get a major trunk line crew assembled, in place, and repairs underway then you may be without for a month. The repair bill may be a couple thousand dollars all told too. It may prove simpler for them to find a junction and just re-cable from there than to try to splice.

Get another provider for a month.

Concrete truck ripped it off my house. Do I have any options of repairing this? Or I have to wait for the tech? They can’t get here until 7/11

Mine was ripped down from Ida last august. My question becomes, can my block (roughly 30 family homes, all using ATT) call and get ATT to come and bury these wires?
I'd imagine that's probably an act of congress but any tips?

Obviously everything went down post Ida but it sure would help during a random storm where only my area/my house gets knocked out.

Yeah, it's a PITA but it's not a huge deal.
