Telecos
Sounds about right for a Telecoms company - but to restore service in only a few days is pretty unusual...then again, being cable, it's only one provider for the entire bundle.
I've heard several tales from people with ADSL broadband who have had no service for weeks or even months - usually because the ISP blames it on BT's equipment at the exchange, and BT blame it on the ISP. Neither will talk to each other or admit liability.

BT aka British Telecom
BT were doing that back in the days when they were Post Office Telephones, and used to supply you with a modem as well as something they called a service. Nothing has changed much since then, except the equipment has got smaller and shinier.
We actually kidnapped an engineer once and locked him in the office until he got our (very expensive) line problem fixed. His managers insisted that the problem was "our equipment" even though we knew that could not possibly be true.
Now the old system has been split up it just gives BT the chance to blame a lot of other people instead of themselves when a fault occurs. After all, it saves them money actually doing something.
And you good folks in the US thought AT&T was bad...
