There are people who bitch about them who can't see them from anywhere on their property. They don't anything to displease their eyes but they also want top notch service.

All providers should get together and refuse service to these cry babies. IF they don't like cabinets then they need to be willing to do without.

Yeah, as long as the box isn't in your front yard why should you care?

Good luck with that, they actually like getting subscriber money. Providers will adapt; they'll either bury them, make them smaller, or put them on the poles. It's not like it's impossible to get internet without these behemoths being awkwardly placed around neighborhoods, it's just going to cost Comcast and other a bit more to make them more discreet.

I'm kinda thinking Comcast knew what was going to happen and just did it anyways. Are they going to get them to move them or put them underground? I highly doubt that. Comcast probably knew ahead of time it was going to be a lot cheaper to get fined as opposed to paying fees to submit paper work and fight over easements in meeting after meeting with the city.

Sometimes it's just a whole lot cheaper to get fined rather than going about it the correct way.

These service providers typically have contractual obligations with the various communities they provide service to to ensure that they are the exclusive provider of such services (whether cable or telco). In accordance with these agreements, they are able to provide services to the properties within their respective serviceable areas with easements on each property.

These easements don't give them the right to do whatever they want. More communities and property owners need to nip these abuses in the bud before the next evolution of communication technology advances require skyscraper sized cabinets.
