The trenching was expensive but I have a long driveway and trenched in two conduits for two fibers. The fiber is always underground here as winter is 7 to 9 months of the year and its easier than getting permission from the power company to share their poles as I am in a rural area. This is commonly reversed in cities as digging is often impossible due to overlapping electrical and sewage boundaries and other bureaucratic reasons. Much of the power here is also underground to avoid outages from freezing lines and people hitting power poles. I'm glad I had my power traced out because the 7200 volt line goes right down the middle of my field where I might have trenched in water lines.
