Reply to comment by LigerXT5 in Comcast wanted $210,000 for Internet—so this man helped expand a co-op fiber ISP | Fed up with Comcast and AT&T, Silicon Valley residents started their own network. by chrisdh79

The problem is actually having the ISP tech visit before closing on the house. Most large ISPs will not do this.

You. An always just look around yourself. It’s not too difficult to see if there is a cable from the pole. If it’s underground there is a box nearby. Ask the neighbors.

There are lots of things you can do in your own.

None of those will actually allow you to determine if a piece of property is wired up or not. If the lines are underground, you obviously will not be able to see them.

Maybe what needs to be done is a call to 8-1-1.

It certainly is for my home. My next door neighbour had Frontier and my property didn't. When asked why I couldn't receive service I was informed that they were at capacity. When Frontier finally decided to run new cable in the area I was able to get cable ran to my home. But my place and my neighbours place are both connected to the same box, so nothing is visually different from before.
