- owenmarshall 8y agoI live here - that's almost exactly what it looks like outside my kid sister's apartment ;) For a local news source: https://www.wdrb.com/news/belknap-neighborhood-residents-concerned-over-sloppy-installation-of-high-speed/article_4bc2a61e-8640-57f0-aba9-3dd4cb3d39e5.html https://www.wdrb.com/news/belknap-neighborhood-residents-con... Here's an article proclaiming that this is how Google would "outbuild their rivals": https://www.techrepublic.com/pictures/photos-how-google-fiber-is-using-shallow-trenching-to-outbuild-its-gigabit-rivals/18/ https://www.techrepublic.com/pictures/photos-how-google-fibe... I cannot possibly oversell just how terrible the work was here. Yes, that is indeed a fiber optic cable two inches under a city street, covered only by expanding foam rubber. Yes, someone really did think "yeah, this'll be just fine."
