Time Warner/ Spectrum hasn't replaced the backup batteries on their pole mounted power supplies in a decade. When there is a power failure (like there is now on the length of 109); cable, internet and (cable) phones go down instantly. Those of us with backup power should be getting what we paid for, with proper maintenance.
More importantly, those that exclusively use (cable) phones are denied access to emergency services.
The town can even do this in private, it doesn't matter to me, as long as it gets done.
