Do your due diligence before buying a property...

I'm sorry but if you're purchasing a house you should know who has what access to your property. I think most people don't do their due diligence when it comes to utility easements.

When we bought our house (new construction) we made sure that there was little-to-no chance of any utility needing to drop anything on our property. Luckily AT&T here is FTTP so there are no VRAD boxes but the electric company has a box in our neighbors yard and another has the cable boxes in their driveway.

Especially with this kind of things, homebuyers REALLY need to see what can happen to their property. Existing homeowners should do research as well just so they can be (unfortunately?) prepared too.

That's a pretty hard thing to determine, considering that the easement is set by the municipality and is usually uniform across the board.

I agree - most utility easements in developed neighborhoods are fairly wide bands across the front or the back of the property. The utility company could easily fit a VRAD cabinet inside the easement on every lot if they wanted to.
