In a Rogers area?
Yes, as I mentioned earlier in the thread....
Rogers has service in the next building on the street.
They cannot string cable via aerial as everything is buried.
They want $6,500 to dig and place cable from across the narrow street.

Unfortunately, that sounds about right for cost. First there's the street permit from the municipality, then there's the pavement cutters (2 people for about 2 hours), then there's the cable layer, then there's the paving crew to patch the hole ... and if there are kerbs they have to patch the concrete too. And then you've got somebody standing guard on the traffic with a lollipop stick! Then there's the insurance and bonds to the city and ... the list of costs just goes on and on and on.

The "In a Rogers area?" was a comment to the person who suggested Cogeco fibre.
