In June of 2018, CenturyLink ran a fiber optic 1 gb/s (per house) internet line down my street, under the sidewalk. At the time they told us the line would be for the houses on our street and go up to 60mb. That was wrong. Additionally, they ran the line to the house on the street next to ours that connects at a 90degree angle. I stream and play competitive esports as well as host an online talk show, when we lost the WISP in our area we since then have been stuck with CenturyLink DSL. We get 20 mbs down, 1 mb up. They have since confirmed the line is not for us but is actually for the other street and is fiber. I am on the end of the street so the house to our left has 1 gb internet. This is quite frustrating. The regional manager for these projects said the only option would be to install a new line down the ENTIRE street. This would cost $21,190. There are not even enough houses on the street to make that doable. The current fiber line is literally 30 ft. from where the internet connection runs in on my house. Is there a way to trench my own connection to the one they already have and have someone splice it in etc. And secondarily, the line is only servicing around 10 houses max not all of which probably use the full one gb speed. Is there any reason why couldn't use the current line. The image below is a diagram. My address is XXXX Stratton Dr. NE
