 Maybe a current Verizon employee looking for extra OT...

Your not giving customers enough credit, your a customer yourself
arn't you? Do you know how to cut those cables? Would anyone else on
the list who isn't a disgruntled verizon employee?

With a power saw?  Goodness, that sounds noisy in the middle of the
night.  I'd have thought a low tech ax would do the job. :-)

Probably a disgruntled customer, with cable bundles that repair says
were supposed to be replaced 12 years ago, but engineering says isn't
in the budget (like my SBC/Ameritech neighborhood in Ann Arbor).

Sigh, not enough criminal instinct here.
