This is strictly a hypothetical: if I’m not a Comcast customer, and I cut a Comcast line off my house, do the Comcast cops come or do I just get to carry on living my life

I know many folks in LA who have done this with no consequence. If you are not paying for cable or phone, they’re never gonna know / care. But LA is bit of of a sprawling, lawless territory so ymmv depending on where you live

Tell me more about your hypothetical mental state. Are you prepossessed with malice?

When I bought my house it included some complicated abatement for the power and telecom poles on the property. I’d need to consult a lawyer on the details, but >99% sure cutting any of the wires is legally bad.

I am a lawyer and I kind of did this without checking. I switched to fiber, and remodeled my house, including removing and patching over all the cable outlets/inlets. In my experience, even if a home is already wired, when you order Comcast, they rewire everything anyway.

I cut down a cable line to my house once. Nothing happened. 10 years later they put up a new line for me when I ordered internet from them.

I believe you are fine so long as you don’t mess with the connection along the street.

Thanks for all your answers friends, I have since resolved my curiosity, which, I cannot stress this enough, remains just a thought exercise

Just say it got knocked off by a falling branch in a storm (which is what happened to my unused internet line last month)
