Mark Renouf reports he was late to work because a Comcast contractor blocked traffic on Avon Street in Somerville with his truck:
MBTA Bus route #85. [Contractor] was outside when the bus came by, the driver asked him to move it, he said no and went inside the house he was working at. He finally moved it after coming out to his truck and the bus driver asked again. Sat there for ~15min.

But, seems to me that there's plenty of information here already (or on the page linked to above). If so interested, Mark, you could write to the person who made the original complaint.

we recommend you call customer service, where we will simultaneously say into the phone "We don't care. At all. Now shut up and hang up." (actually happened to me)
