AT&T just ran fiber through our older neighborhood, what should I expect as far as installation?

Fiber terminals on poles (aerial)?

If yes, the expectation is the fiber drop to the house would be overhead to side of home.

If no, have fiber buried with no poles using pedestal or handhold, expect fiber drop to be placed on the ground with burial at future unknown date.

From the point of entry will need fiber installed to gateway location. The tech doing the install can discuss the where and how part of the installation.  Allow up to (4) hours from time of arrival, most are closer to 3 hours.

All underground, and the AT&T 'vault' is at the edge of our property.   From there to the house is concrete slab, without much opportunity to go overhead, which is where my concerns lie.

Pretty sure I'd the be the first hooked up so I might expect some gotchas from that as well.

Thanks for the info!

All concrete, no grass at all, even going around the house?

While contractors can bore under concrete there needs to be a point that comes out of the ground.

Example would be alongside driveway, behind the garage, thru backyard to a point of entry that can enter home with grass, flower bed, gravel surface at POE.

The AT&T underground service box is at the corner of my driveway.  Approximately 30' of concrete to the house.  

Cable installer sort of 'weaved' their coax in and out of the fence between my driveway and the neighbors until it got to the back yard where they dug up some dirt at the end of the concrete walkway and buried the coax.  Pretty shoddy looking really, but it was the best I could get them to do.

And it will likely be the same path for the fiber... fence edge, backyard to side of home.

Fiber service does not require grounding, thus can enter home at a different point than the copper which should be grounded to electric ground of home.

Thanks, that gives me a rough idea of what to expect.  

Just to follow up on this, installer came Saturday morning.. and turned out his supervisor wouldn't let him install it without running it underground. 

So now there's a request somewhere in the system to send out a crew to run conduit under my concrete (and perhaps other folks, there are about 8 houses here that can't be hooked up as it stands).

Oh my, time to make a bunch of popcorn, this is just destined to turn out to be quite a show.  😕

Lucky for me I've got cable internet service, so I can wait.... at&t will surely deliver right?

Phew, I don't feel so bad for you now. 

They're going to deliver alright, we just don't what.  There are multiple "disconnected" AT&T depts involved plus possible outside contractors.

Hey, they can't all be 💩(Edited per community guidelines) shows, there have to be a lot of success stories that we never get to hear about in these forums.  🤞🤞
