What about the fact that the line needs to go across my driveway as the house connection is on the opposite side from their cable box? I hope they can go underneath my driveway without destroying it. Has anyone experienced this - the burying of a cable line? What about replacing a line where a buried line existed before? Appreciate any knowledge or help.

Thanks,

You don't say what Village you are in, but is Quantum fiber or another provider an option? It might already be at your house and they just need to connect it.
