Maybe Comcast is ok

I don't know, but this is not the kind of competition Comcast needs. Can we find the competent kind?

TAMPA - Last week, Georgann Crotty stepped outside the front door of her Valrico home and saw a geyser of raw sewage spewing into her front yard.

Crotty discovered that contractors for Verizon had broken a sewer pipe.

Also last week, crews broke a waterline in the FishHawk community in Lithia, interrupting service for customers and leaving some residents with holes in their front yards and ripped-up driveways.

In September, a broken waterline caused a hole to open in a Seffner neighborhood, partially swallowing a minivan and scaring - but not injuring - the mother and two children inside.

Since August, nearly 200 water, sewer and reclaimed water lines have been broken across the county by Verizon crews installing fiber optic lines underground.

I guess they didn't call Miss Utility...
