    The City of ************ permitted Wire 3 to install fiber optic cable in my neighborhood, and in the process of installation in late Nov 2024, the company they contracted to do the work (*********) pierced the sewer line in my front yard, damaging the line. This eventually (Dec 10, 2024) caused my toilets to back up, and I could not use them. My total sewer repair bill was $5,667. Once the plumbers and I realized (Dec 16th) that the damage was caused by the fiber optic cable installation, I called the City and they had a representative from Fiber Pro reach out to me (Dec 17th), at which time I requested reimbursement. I sent documentation and followed up numerous times over the next six weeks but could not get updates on the status of my reimbursement, or resolution. I finally reached out to the City again (Feb 3, 2025) and they gave me the number of the Wire 3 construction manager, *** ********. I spoke with him on Feb 5th. He requested that I email him my receipts, which I did. Then he called back that same day wanting to negotiate what his company would reimburse me, saying that a portion of the repair ($1030.70) was considered "an upgrade". I was not happy about this, but agreed to it, which would decrease my reimbursement from $5,667 down to $4,636.30. *** said I would receive a release to sign via email by the end of the week (Fri, Feb 7th), then my reimbursement check would be cut the following Thursday (Feb 13th). I had not received the email by that Friday (the 7th), so called *** on Monday (Feb 10th) to follow up. He assured me I would receive the email sometime *that* week. I did not receive the email by the end of that week, so followed up that Friday, Feb 14th with an email to *** inquiring about the status of my reimbursement. As of today (Wed, Feb 19th), I have not received a response from him. I am seeking reimbursement of at least $4,636.30, and up to the original amount of $5,667 for the repairs done due to the damage Wire 3 caused.

    The City of ************ did not hire or contract Wire 3. They only provided permission for them to do the fiber optic installation. I filed a complaint with BBB against ********* (the company who was contracted by Wire 3 to actually do the installation work) on February 4th, and was told by BBB I had filed the complaint against the wrong company, and that I needed to file the complaint against Wire 3 because they were the company who subcontracted the work to *********. The City of ************ did not hire Wire 3.

    This company dug up my yard and hit the line where my existing internet is. Now we have no wifi at our house.
