Re: Clever technology said by rawgerz:I wonder if a redneck and a pickup truck would be even more cost effective? Never heard of buried coax before, I've only seen it aerial. Still it's pretty similar to what verizon crews do for aerial fiber. Tie some lubed up ball on one end, and use a leaf blower to suck it though. Wow. Have you ever been in a neighborhood that doesn't have poles? I guess not.

Probably have, just didn't notice. Don't know anyone that travels that looks for poles and/or what's on them. I figured cable co's used fiber to begin with in the most metro areas, not like it's often the streets would be dug up..
But I doubt there are many places like that to begin with, underground is very costly, so unless you travel to Manhattan or I guess Toledo, you won't see it
