Yes, you read correctly. They refused to provide service at the nearest corner of the property (where it would be a short drop from a pole) and insisted that it be at the primary dwelling. That was going to be more than some maximum distance for new aerial service imposed by the municipality, so would have to be underground. Comcast refused to let me hire my own contractor to install a conduit, and instead wanted $300 per foot and a needlessly circuitous path. That's where $210k came from. Their original bid at $1M didn't have any details on cost breakdown. I didn't get Comcast.
