I call bullshit at least as far as Gfiber is concerned. I live in a multi family building. For mine they had to run it under a driveway, sidewalk, and fence. They didn't touch any of them. Then when my neighbor had theirs installed they just had to go under the driveway. It wasn't touched again but unfortunately they had cut my line. So they ran mine again and like the first time they didn't touch any of the three. I don't know if my other neighbors in the building have Gfiber or not as I was affected at all and they didn't touch any of the three if they did get it installed.
