My neighbor had Direct/TV and I had a famous cable vendor we were down during Sandy. My landlines were ok , a big surprise. I lived in Tornado Alley most of my life as a kid, moving east in 1976. This hurricane was the worst I have seen. But it could have been much worst.
The cable vendor customer service ppl were ' nice ' but ave no information. Apparently a lot f their issues were power feeds.
