The suit&tie managers and repair crews are gone. Just fresh orange call-before-you-dig marks on pavement and three people for each of the six backhoes (one operator and two watchers for each backhoe).

The AT&T toll office in Arlington VA is surrounded by a half-dozen backhoes (2 in front, more in the side-street around the corner). Instead of the usual "call before you dig" markings, they had full crew of professional surveyors marking a grid and repair trucks from multiple telco/carriers standing by.

A lot of "suit & tie" folks on-site too.

Probability before I lose some service?
