Situation: I'm in Oakland and Sonic 10G fiber has come to my neighborhood. But utilities from the pole to my house are underground, about 200ft. After a couple of tries, Sonic bucket crews told me the conduit was blocked and I was on my own - either find a brave contractor to unblock the conduit, or cancel the order. Sonic could not/would not recommend anyone.
In April 2021, AT&T installed their 1G fiber in the same conduit so I could have that service from Sonic. They did say there was some difficulty with "dirt or something" in the conduit, but they persisted and it works.
Background: the house was under construction at the time of the Oakland Hills fire, and undergrounding of utilities was all the rage. That conduit has been under our shared asphalt driveway for 30+ years and digging up the driveway is not a good option.
Any recommendation for a reputable "brave" contractor to pull that fiber through the blockage from the pole to my house?
Thanks for any serious referral.
