We get no appreciation lol but who is out there in hurricanes, tornadoes, ice storms cutting the lines out and freeing them for linemen to do their jobs.

Certainly not to diminish the importance of cable linemen, telephone or other communications linemen. But just FYI....National Lineman Appreciation Day as passed by the U.S. Congress only honors electric linemen. (Yeah, we wonder why too?) https://www.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/senate-resolution/95/text (But don't misunderstand, we appreciate all of them!) “Lineman are not just power companies…they are also cable maintenance technicians!”

My husband works hard and on call most of the time to make sure people have internet and cable and the people who don’t have cell phones have their land lines up and running in case of emergencies. He also gets called out all hours of the night and works in hazardous conditions and around power lines also. So don’t forget to thank your local cable linemen too!
