How to handle planned construction internet outage?

Hey folks,

I have a property behind which I'll have to do some construction requiring some heavier equipment. The GC says that to get the equipment in, they'll likely need to move some cable lines, which look like they might be feeding the tenant's internet. I'll have to double-check and confirm...

Anyway, assuming it IS their internet, it's probably not okay to leave them without internet for a week or so to get that work done. What is the standard way this is handled in the industry? Can you just get some kind of a temporary hotspot set up that they can use, for the duration of the work? Or do you work with their cable company to relocate the cables (temporarily or otherwise)?

Thanks!

    simply move the lines to access the house from a place that they will not be in the way and then move them back when your done.
