I replaced a service cable last year due to a phone company employee drilling a hole thru it while installing internet service. The cable was run along the inside of the rim joist, and he drilled right thru the 2 hot conductors, needless to say the installers drill bit was toast. The installer was fine, just a bit shaken up, thank god for double insulated tools!
