I'm looking to have Xfinity installed in a newly built home I just purchased. The house is, so far, the only one towards the end of a dead end street so no cable line had been run on the street power poles to in-front of my house.
A tech was sent out to my home but couldn't do the install. Something about an extra pole needs to be put in on the street, since the cable span on the poles cant be over 500 feet. Xfinity contacted the town to arrange for a utility pole to be put in but Comcast said it would only cover up to $1400 of the charge from the town for the pole and the remaining balance by the customer. I am awaiting a call from Xfitinity to find out how much the town charges for the pole install.
Anyone ever have to deal with something similar? I'm wondering how much something like this might cost and if they can charge me for a pole installation on a public street that might later be used to service more homes at the end of the street?
