AT&T is in the area, and our neighborhood, putting in fiber optic cable. The good news for me is that they are doing the major digging and tunneling under driveways on the other side of the street. The did hand dig a hole right at the boundry of my property and the neighbors for a box, much like a water meter. It was a 5 foot deep hole, just a foot across. That dude can dig! They dug a much larger trench-hole across the street, to run the oversize (5 foot long) suppository looking gizmo to poke a hole for some conduit, and it has a wide piece of cloth inside the conduit to use to pull the fiber under the street out the other side. The heat index is 110 or so and lots of men working in the sun out there.
It is cool trenching and digging tech. I am just really happy my yard is not getting trenched up like the across the street neighbors.
I have no plans to switch to AT&T internet or TV. I have Gigabit download and 45 MBPS upload speed now. Yea the fiber can be a ton faster, but with just two of us, the speed we have is plenty.
They would have a heck of time getting to the connections in the back of the house as my yard is full of sprinkler pipe. Not my problem.
