Ezee Fiber installation question - 2006 neighborhood with existing Xfinity & CenturyLink lines
Hey everyone,
I'm curious how they typically run the fiber line from the street to the house. My neighborhood was built in 2006, and I can see the underground conduits leading out. I've never seen our street dug up in the past. Right now, those conduits are occupied by Xfinity (coax) and CenturyLink (DSL) wires. For those of you who switched from Xfinity or CenturyLink to Ezee Fiber, how did the installers handle your line drop?
* Did they manage to fish the new fiber line straight through the existing underground conduits alongside the old wires?
* Or did they have to pull a new line entirely, meaning they had to trench the street?
Also, I'm curious, back when the neighborhood was built, was there any standard anticipating that new wires would eventually need to be pulled or upgraded? Can a new provider even use the existing conduits that Xfinity or CenturyLink are currently using?
Bonus points if you're sharing experiences from WA state! I'm mostly just trying to figure out if the techs have mastered the art of ghosting past the old cables and if there's hope for getting fiber in my hood :)
Thanks in advance for any insights!
