I had the same general feelings as George.
On one hand people beg and scream for faster internet, then you hear
lamentations about where you put a pole and how much dust there is when
you dig. It's not usually the same exact people, but occasionally it
is.
Yeah digging through rock sucks, but that's fixable with machinery and
tenacity. Can't fix the humans.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] West EP homeowners fed up with AT&T fiber optic
project - KVIA
Wow...Just shared it to point out how difficult it can be lay fiber
when unexpected or unplanned obstacles pop up..... Imagine going to
erect a tower base five feet deep and a few inches or feet you hit a
water/gas/sewer/etc...If you or someone didn't check it out before it
could be a project stopper...I don't know if contractors or AT&T hired
a survey company to analyze conditions. I wonder what some of the FTTH
guys on this list do before they start building out .....From
experience, when we build out SCADA projects, we get drawings and
studies done way before we start by engineering firms. We attend
meetings where all these items are discussed. I imagine you guys do
your homework ...It just makes business sense.

want cable, I just want internet! Get outta here! OK, now I'm only
getting 921Mbps. I'm paying for 1.0Gbps! Fix it now!!!
