Eh, I'd have some questions as the owner too. Who is Comcast subbing this out to? When is the work being done?
Wouldn't fight it outright, but I'd want to be there when it's happening.

Are you sure they're actually digging? We moved to a part of western NC that had no cable. When they installed it, they used a piece of equipment like a sewing machine. It shoved the cable underground with no actual digging. We couldn't even tell where they put it.

I don’t think it’s a big deal for a future owner to have comcast install it then. If Comcast wants the business, they will.

How do you know this for sure? Have you looked this up in city records? Utility companies often have broad access easements.

Still true. We have Verizon FiOS and the wall-mounted rotary phone in our kitchen works fine.

Whether they marked anything doesn't have anything to do with an easement nor does the location of the origin and destination mean that something is/is not an easement.
A utility easement can be implied - that is, not written and recorded at the land registry - because the presence of something (like existing utility lines) implies that an easement must have been intended whether or not it was recorded. For utilities like Comcast, these are permanent/perpetual easements because utilities are public services.
If they don't have existing lines, then, yes, you can force them to seek an easement.
If they do have existing lines and the easement was just never recorded, you can negotiate with them still. For example, you can ask for some standard of how they return the property to you after add their lines. At my family house, we had asked them to use matching sod instead of just patching things over which they happily did.

Just FYI may not be the best idea to act like a total asshole online and have your username follow the first initial + last name format.

Manchester-By-The-Sea is a town that doesn’t want anyone poorer than upper-middle class living in it, just like all the other towns in the region, and now they’re worried because essential services don’t have any working class labor pool to hire from. This is a great case of r/leopardsatemyface.
Too bad, so sad. Build some more housing, including for those working class you despise so much, if you want firefighters again.

What? This doesn't affect anybody else. They're able to upgrade the street line and do whatever work necessary within the setback. Running the additional line to my house is what I'm referring to. It's not necessary and not something I agreed to.

I'm not tiny, but yeah, I hear you. Wish I could take my big dog on the T with me, but he's not a certified service dog.
