:5. My house is 413 feet from where the driveway connects to the rural road.
5. There are marker posts that say "Caution, buried copper or fiber-optic wire". Which go down the four-lane highway, by the small business' place. A few more go down the two lane highway, and by the rural road. I see a few of these same posts go down the rural road as well.
Now, it really sucks to have cable be so close, yet be out of reach. Comcast says my address does not have cable, but it doesn't say that I could be 413 feet from having high speed internet.
Having Fiber run down the road really is nothing close to having cable installed at your residence. There is really nothing they can do realisticaly with the fiber to get one person cable. They would have to pop a node in just to feed you. When typically now Nodes average about 440 homes serviced on Comcasts network and have about 50-60% penetration rate of Homes Passed Vs Homes Subscribed. Which fuzzy math would mean passing about 1k possible subscribers.
