There's that stuff you did before TV and Internet.

The Aftermath.

Went to install a new mailbox yesterday. First jab with the post hole digger and saw that split cable in the pic. That's what a Verizon FIOS cable looks like when it's cut in half.

I was actually interested in this topic and opened the thread, hoping to find some relevant information on this.

I am miserably disappointed.

Everyone knows the location of your mailbox makes it easy to get mail delivered, but did you know the location of your mailbox makes it even more important to call before digging? Many utility lines are buried along streets in right-of-ways, and most mailboxes require holes 36 to 42 inches deep. At the same time, if you are removing an old post set with cement, you will have to dig even deeper until it can be removed.
Your mailbox presents a relatively inexpensive opportunity to project style – but it also presents an opportunity to show you know that smart digging means calling 811 before each job. Knowing where underground lines are buried before you begin your project helps protect you from injury, expense and penalties.
Remember, know what's below. Always call before you dig.

What kind of lazy sob left it laying like that without burying it at all it looks like?

They would likely know where my utility and water are. I doubt they would know the exact location of my FIOS cable drop, considering it snaked all over the place. Even the FIOS guys admitted it wasn't in the right place and wasn't buried deep enough. It was literally 3" below the turf.

No big deal. They came out and replaced the entire drop today, buried it deeper, and moved it to a better location.
