And wasn't it mostly sub-contractors screwing things up in the beginning, like cut utilities, property damage, etc.?
Yes, but it's unfair to point the finger directly at them. Contactors did all the ground work. If they did a perfect job would you hear about how great using subs is? Also, while I'm sure subs do make mistakes, in a lot of cases the problem was that utilities were either marked incorrectly, or not at all.

This is about the installation, not the prep (ground, pole, underground...) which the subcontractors already did (or messed up depending on who said what).

I go with the age of homes, the scheduling and infrastructure.

My install took less tahn 2 hours. That is becuase I did ALL the prep (board with punchdown, house-LAN, termination ready, and EASY access). I bet only .1% have such prep done for the FIOS guys.

I was only commenting on the early prep work. The installation from the drop on the pole/post to the house is another story. But if they are breaking utilities during that phase, either the utility wasn't buried nearly deep enough or they are cutting way too deep.
