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,

The last time they needed to dig in my yard, they decided that I no longer needed that invisible fence and dug right through it. Even after I told them where it was. No recourse. I now have starlink and LOVE it.
