That’s happened to us multiple times, only it’s our electric wire! We’ve added extensions to raise it higher, but inevitably something takes it down.

In Zona Colonial ,there is no attempt by the electrical company or the TV/telephone companies to improve the situation..posts are at all angles and wires hanging down and all the money given to improve ZC simply disappears .
