Can't help with the getting fiber to your house, but for making things easy for install, one thing you can do is run ethernet from where the ONT will be to where you want the router. Tricky part is knowing where they will put the ONT. I think the service is done in two stages, so hopefully the first tech can tell you where the ONT will be and give you enough time to install ethernet before the second tech comes.
Also, BUY YOUR OWN ROUTER. Cox fiber doesn't use a cable(DOCSIS) modem so the Panoramic gateways Cox rents out are put into router mode. That means any normal stand alone router with a ethernet WAN port and DHCP will work in it's place. Their gateway is only good up to 1Gbps when in fiber mode. It's just a better idea to use your own for many reasons. The only exception is if you have Wireless TV boxes, phone service, or Homelife, then you need the gateway.
