The woman said hundreds of locals on the Littledale Estate were now without internet and landline services.
She said: "The box was knocked over some on Friday night or Saturday morning. Hundreds of people on the estate are now without internet services and landlines.
"Obviously its a massive issue for people working from home, and mums trying to keep the kids entertained."
The woman said that her internet provider said she might be without services for another two weeks.
She said: "I am with Talk Talk and they have told me that it might take until August 14 before they can resume services.
"But people with other providers have been affected too. We are talking about big companies here and I am hoping this matter can be resolved sooner than later."
A local man said: "The car must have been doing some speed to knock it over. I think the driver just made off afterwards."
Police said they had no record of a road collision in the area.
