Hello All,
I am looking to move out to the Sultan, WA area and need to run cable to my prospective new home. We need roughly 1400ft of aerial cable run down the street. I have been in communication with Comcast in regards to this and have gotten an estimate of around $27,000 to run the cable. While we are willing to pay that price, regardless of how absurdly expensive that is, we would of course love to not have to pay that much if at all possible. I was told by a relative that it might be possible (also faster and cheaper) to hire an independent contractor to run the cable instead of getting Comcast to do it. Comcast, not to my surprise, is dragging their feet on this time sensitive project even though we are willing to pay them for this.
My question: Is it legal to hire an independent contractor to run the aerial cable? If so, would it require Comcast to finish the job at the house after the cable is run or can I simply buy\lease a modem and get an IP assigned to it to setup service?
Thank you for your help in advance.
