Looking for any input on how to get cable to my house.
Charter cable is the local service provider and I want to get their internet / TV package.
I live 700 feet from the road where their overhead line is located.
The cable route from the road to the house will be around 1000 feet.
Charter is asking over $7000+ to run the line to my house and there is no negotiating on my digging the trench or doing any part of the work. They charge you the installation fee if your home is more than 300 from the road - having them install the line is out.
I have a clear line of site over the 700 feet from my home to my driveway entrance.
Is it possible and economically feasible to have Charter drop a line at my drive entrance and from there I could setup a point to point wireless to beam the signal to my house. I can get electric at my drive entrance to power transmitters, etc.
I understand that Charter won't be responsible for the signal after it leaves their line.
Some concerns I have are the heat and cold extremes the equipment would experience. Whether there would be an issue with the combination internet and TV signal. yada, yada.
Has anyone done this? Any suggestions or equipment specifications?
reply to loydp No provider is going to allow you to do that on a new install. That much money means a plant extension is needed, which includes hardline, amp's, etc. to get the signal close enough to your home to turn in to a traditional drop. If you want the service, you will have to pay the fees associated.
