At our old office we had a large spool of fiber optic cable just laying on the ground next to a pole and it went up the pole and off down the street. It just had nothing on our end connected to it. We tried to get the power company to deal with it when they replaced a transformer but they just pushed it out of the way of the truck. We had to mow around it and it was in the way.

One of my friends works for AT&T and he was out there working on the AT&T fiber cable so I asked him about that cable. He said it was not theirs and Cox Cable said it was not theirs. Some mysterious unicorn showed up and whacked off the excess and stapled the rest to a pole out of our way.

It was weird to think three different companies had fiber service right outside the building. Maybe 6 feet from the building.
