No idea where you are, but over in my neck of the woods, you can feel a bump right after each marking at the side of the road where they flagged it for sprinklers (to prevent ruining the irrigation systems of the homes). Those bumps weren't there before T-Mobile showed up.

And there's a big one coming down from the private golf cart gate on Paradise, heading south toward the Boone Gate. It's not nearly as bad as the root that's pushing up the pavement on the path between Aldi's and Walmart but it's still pretty obvious and irritating, since it was perfectly smooth prior to the fiber installation.

I asked one of the workers, and he claimed they'd be coming with big rollers to flatten everything back out, in around a week. That was over a month ago. Never happened.

I can only speak about my village but that has not been the case here.

I was too.

Since the only 'crossing' of the road at that location was the fibre optic cable, I 'assume' that's what caused it. I don't suppose it was caused by a 'tiny earthquake'.

In fact, drive on Madero. Just about every 100 feet there is a heave in the road, some bad enough to crack the pavement.

When I lived in NJ I had FIOS which is Verizon’s fiber optics. It was the best experiences I’ve had regarding internet/television/phone. I’d go back to them in a heartbeat. Right now my neighborhood has tiny striped flags marked for what I believe is fiber optic lines. I’m in Woodbury
