internet connection down
some one from the utility company or cable company knocked down the cable coming to my house so it was on the ground but still working. i tried to call the cable company to get the resolved but they were in an all employee meeting 
needless to say i left and came back last night and one of my "intelligent 
" neighbors decided to cut the cable 
cable company told me that the soonest someone could be out is on fridaydon't think i didn't demand credits or reduction of bill

Patch the cable until they can fix it. If they ask, tell them the truth: your neighbor cut the cable, and you wanted internet, so you provided yourself with a temp fix until they did the perm fix.
It will probably work if center core touches center core, shield to shield and core not touching shield. It can't be worse than simply cut and unterminated.
