I called Verizon to have FIOS put in, and told them I didn't want to "connect" until the line was in and buried. They had someone out to put the conduit in before sending someone to hook us up. The problem? The line wouldn't pull through the conduit. So they hooked us up and left rolls of line in our neighbor's yard. We were told they would come back the next week to fix it. That was on March 25th. They were supposed to come the first week of April, then the second. Now I check my repair ticket and it's been pushed back to May 13th! We have about 2000 feet of FIOS cable running along our driveway. Most of it is lying on multiple neighbors' property (as our driveway has an easement). The cable is partially hanging from a tree by the road (there are actually two lines, one for us and one for a neighbor who lives on the same driveway), and when the wind blows, it rolls out into the driveway. We have to get out and put it back. The neighbor who has the big rolls of cable in his yard can't mow or do much until it's fixed.
Why is it taking a month and a half to put cable into conduits that already exist?
