Third Party Installers

I live at the end of a loooong private private drive (1,100 feet) that is shared amongst a dozen or so different detached single family homes. Our electrical and phone service(AT&T DSL) is brought to us on overhead telephone/electrical poles that sit on private property. None of these neighbors have Cox Cable services. However, every other adjacent street and their respective residence do have access to Cox Cable/Internet services.

As stated above, we and most of our neighbors have DSL and AT&T Uverse services are not available in our area. DSL is not sufficient so I got an estimate from Cox customer development team to bring me their cable internet services and the pricing was off the charts! But in fairness to them, they have to factor the costs of dealing with finicky homeowners, legal issues like easements, etc. I have decided to go and find an independent/third party cable installer and run my own line out to the most convenient drop area for Cox. I have been assured by professionals familiar with telecommunications technology and law that this is possible.

My question is this: Does anyone have a 3rd party telecommunications company that has experience dealing with Cox Communications in a scenario like this?

While I encourage anyone that can help to respond to your post, you might have better luck on http://www.dslreports.com/forum/coxhsi. This forum is still pretty new so it hasn't built as much of a user base. Feel free to keep the thread updated with what you end up doing though, in case anyone comes along with a similar question. Good luck with your endeavor.
