Centurylink Rant!!

[hollohas]

Centurylink is doing the same in my neighborhood. In this case they are putting in underground fiber. But they are completely shutting down access to some streets, streets that are the only access to dozens of home's garages. And they've done their underground locating and painted up lawns all over the neighborhood. Some the owners obviously take great pride in are about ready to be dug up. Hopefully I'm wrong and they are really going to use directional boring or existing innerduct. But it doesn't look like it.

They put a note on our door that basically said they will need access to our yard anytime for the next MONTH, without notice.

Cool, there is a right of way, but tell me what day you need access and I'll give it to you. Keeping the dogs inside for the next month is not an acceptable solution.

PS - what irritates me most is the fact that there is literally 55ft of unused easement between the outside of our fence and the sidewalk. Yet the utilities are 1ft inside our fence line. If they would have run the utilities 2ft over when they built the neighborhood, they could have access anytime without needing in our yard. But nobody wants to see little mint green pedestals everywhere so inside the fence they go.
