To be fair, the $210,000 probably includes upgrading the area that was dug up. We are a Comcast partner and had a client looking to install in Oakland CA. The Comcast quote was something like $250,000. Our rep explained that right now, the area to be dug up was empty fields. In order to get the permit for the install, Oakland insisted that when done, Comcast had to upgrade the landscaping. Needless to say, the install didn’t happen.
