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.

Your best bet is to go to your local village hall and check out the franchise agreement. There might be something in there stating that Comcast has to offer you service if you are X feet away or in an area with X amount of possible customers. Just hope that in your state there is no statewide Franchise in place which makes most that those "customer friendly provisions" null and void. THANKS VERIZON!
