Nice video and explanation. Crews are in my neighborhood at the moment running the main conduits and I didn't want to stop them to ask questions.

[@gregwilliams386]

I remember a crew that was boring a line into a US Secret Service building, they bored through a sewer main and flooded the basement of the building.

Talks about directional drilling and then the end it looks like a vibro cable plow has done it... :O If it was the drill, there would be no disturbance on the top

[@pondwaterjr]

seen the same thing

[@TomWhi]

Great video. Well presented 😊

[@sunshower6560]

Hopefully I get to experience this soon. My family and I have been without internet and waiting for fiber installation for 125 days.

[@cornell833]

I can't wait to work for these guys they make $ and we get to help others

[@AliHaider-fr4cx]

Good work

[@Low-KeyLawnGuy]

As a locator for a gas utility company… I can’t wait till all these fiber projects are done. You guys have been the bane of our existence.

[@Jinguapingi]

Wouldn't you be jobless without them ?

[@Low-KeyLawnGuy]

@@Jinguapingi not even close. Ticket load never stops.

[@iamnobodyy_]

the sad thing is they were suppose to start rolling it out in like 1998 and be done way faster than it’s taking them now maybe 10-15 years but they took the money the government gave them and pocketed it slow getting it around starting about late 2000s

Good job like job

[@againstallodds404]

Might want to train metro net on how to do this instead of tearing up the water mains and cutting electrical😂😂

[@rajacable70]

Where are you from

[@kennixox262]

Many years ago, a cable company came in trenched the old fashioned way, ripped apart my irrigation system and made a mess of the grass. Really annoying. Where I live now, we have a monopoly cable company with little competition, some 5G wireless internet and a few brand new neighborhoods that have direct to the home fiber. My speeds are sufficient for my internet speeds and the service is pretty reliable but with regular overnight outages for "upgrades". That is past my bedtime so it matters little to me .

[@robertmckay5386]

hello city west is your cable working today because we have not had cable since this morning all we got is internet but no tv

[@againstallodds404]

You still pay for cable😮

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

My yard, a corner lot, was basically destroyed by this process by AT&T installers. It will take 2 years for my grass to recover. And they could care less.

[@meier259]

True story Robert I did not give a fuck when we wrecked your yard. you were a cunt the entire time anyway so fuck you.

[@sebastianusami]

They do what they can, but its simply not possible to make it like they was never there. Its still construction and they cant spend 4 days doing one yard, just not feasible. Whats more important, your yard or internet? You can always go to the library if its not good enough.

[@Todd.T]

They were probably installing an entire network, not just a drop to a house. For the last 5 years, my lawn has been cut up. Cathodic water devices, water line replacement, sewer lining, a gas line replaced, and now fibre optic cabling. In all cases, I got the lawn to recover by the end of spring. Grass seed, fertilizer, water. The contractor that does the work has to do restoration. You still have to water it. If you have a restoration issue, call the city and they will make the company fix it. Too many complaints about the contractor and the company will not use them. You call AT&T who subs out the once in a lifetime installation for your neighborhood and they have no mechanism for dealing with that other than "reboot your device".

[@macmusic08]

@@sebastianusami Wow. If you honestly believe that all of this destruction of PRIVATE property is actually necessary for us to have Internet, then you are about as clueless as a person can possibly be. We have ALL had Internet for a very long time now and the Internet speed for most people has been perfectly fine and they never had to dig up anybody’s yard, cut water lines and electrical lines in order to provide it. Not until NOW, that is. Have you ever stopped to ask WHY they are doing this? They’re coming into neighborhoods, doing a lot of destruction to install this cable and from everything I am hearing, people are not getting any answers when it’s time for somebody to pay for the repairs. So they come and they destroy and then they leave without fixing what they fucking destroyed. You sound like you are perfectly fine with all of this, so please do our country a favor and don’t vote.

[@0bsmith0]

Boo hoo, the grass will grow back.

[@mudwiser1391]

What an enormous waste of time an money just so internet will be a fraction of a second faster. What a messed up world.

[@JJFlores197]

You can't be serious dude. Competition is always great.

[@Ozzie4Para]

Anyone know what the average time frame is between the time when the initial underground conduit is buried until the fiber is available to the customers? One month? Three months? Longer?

[@haydenbrown2039]

Ours been ran last April and we still waiting
