Re: Didn't Comcast try this already? The equipment makes a cut in the soil to pull a blank through the ground, the blank is attached to one end of the conduit pipe. The conduit for the fiber line is that orange stuff you've likely seen popping up out of the ground near you by utility poles. Our install of the conduit didn't damage the lawn driveway or nearby plants or bushes. They also have a machine that allows them to pull the blank under your sidewalk & driveway. This under pavement maneuver does require a small chunk of ground to be pulled up because the conduit as you can imagine is not flexible enough to make sharp turns, but they put it back like a puzzle piece. The whole process took 3 hours from pull up to drive away. The inside stuff was done, took an hour, the guy took the cable from the ONT and made a new jack in the wall inside for it, looks very nice. He also installed the power supply and its related cabling, he also activated & tested the router and by the time he left we were surfing at high speed (you could really tell the difference even with just page loading).
We are going to move to VZ as soon as its practical for tv.
