[TriLUG] OT: what is this cable?

[Bill Weinel]

This is a TWC buried drop cable to the house. If you're not currently using 
Time Warner for phone, cable, or internet service; you'll notice nothing out.

It's also possible that there are multiple buried TWC drops going to your 
house and you've just hit an old unused cable. [Over the years, TWC had to 
replace a number of older drops due to water infiltration into their buried 
drop cables (...this was caused by them originally installing inferior quality 
buried cables back when they first installed the cable system in the 1970's.)]

If you or your neighbors have noticed nothing out... Your likely good to go. 

Take care,
Bill
