Microman I wish it was true getting those prices. It would be worth going to work but the people that actually do the work only gets $25 up to 200 feet $30 up to 500 ft $40 up to 750 $45 to 1000 feet and $55 up to 1500 feet. That is using the companys equipment. Now if you had your own you might get 10 -15 bucks more for each. $1.25 per ft for bore your own equipment $2.50 a ft for bore. This was with a contractor for Ansco & Assoc. Also Ansco does not pay worth a crap
Now with Spectrum its even worst for main line and drops. Drops 30 bucks up to 500 ft main line CNC / CIC ( cable in conduit )$3.50 a ft bore $3.75 a ft. This is in North Carolina One of the lowest paid states in America
At&t will not allow no one to use a tractor to plow in. They want you to use a missle for main line. I refuse to dig all them holes and shot a missle. No way They pay per foot
