Better question is who can build out two splice cases, pull the fiber, and splice it all in four hours? Unless this is something like 12ct fiber and an easy little splice case, it is going to take way longer then that. I've had guys take 8 hours to do a 48 strand cable to a couple 24 node drop cables. They are new at it though.
