This weekend cutting the hedge, I accidentally cut through our neighbours Virgin broadband and TV cable, twice. I bared and twisted them back together and taped them up. Must have got it right, neighbours haven't noticed.

Just tell them. VM will fix for free, they did mine when a builder put a shovel through it

Really? Fibre optic? Maybe it wasn't what you thought it was...

My dad put a saw through my broadband cable back in the day. Took a few attempts to get customer services to grasp "my cable's been cut" really meant "there was one cable and a saw, and now there are two, shorter cables". They kept trying to drive down the troubleshooting script.

Maybe they'll notice next weekend when it gets cut again.
Or perhaps the cut the weekend after that...

Totally did not get it right. Dumbass.

It still works because it's cutting hedge technology.

TIL other countries don't have fibre right up to the house

Twisted fibre optic cable? "Works a treat down our road, mate" Praise be for satellite dishes.

“We’re good thanks”

Well done twisting fibre-optic cable together. Did you solder it too?
-
Why is it in the hedge?
-
How on earth would you know whether they've noticed or not? Would they come round to tell you their internet isn't working?

Once is an accident but twice? 🤔🤣😂

It's Virgin. It might be still fucked but they're so used to it dying on its arse it's not worth mentioning.

… and it was laying in your grass because…….. ? 😳
