Help getting new fiber laid in in my area.

Is it your own house...Its a fun project if your into diy,

I bought sds drill in Aldi, and got long bits

Used a long bit to drill out of the house

The drill had a kango tip, so I cut a track across my foot path about 2 inches deep to where I drilled out

Dug a trench about a foot deep in the lawn, that took a few days to the telephone pole

Put a pipe in the lawn and covered it

Got an electrical conduit pipe, it's black pipe with ridges on the outside and that goes from house to the lawn

Fed a farmers electric fence wire into it, till it came out the other end, taped rope to it and pulled wire back and left rope on it

After fibre was fitted burried the pipe in the path using woodies ready made concrete

Is drilling a hole more difficult in an old building?

The OP says the fibre drop is 25m from the house, is this located in a chamber or on a pole?

If in a chamber on the street who installs the ducting outside the property boundary? Would it involve applying for a permit to dig the footpath?

Easy enough to dig a trench for the cable on your own property but when it goes onto the public walkway it gets complicated.

there is no pole the fibre drop is in a cabinet and therefore the cables are underground so ducting is required.

I don’t expect 4 engineers came out and not one of them had the wherewithal to go over head if it was an option!

Great job. I hope you sealed both ends of the duct so nothing whatsoever can get into the duct, so if there is ever a next time, the duct will be guaranteed free and clear.

When fibre was installed a few years back, the installer was very obliging and we ran the fibre through a duct and then up into the loft where he installed the PON. I had everything ready with a powerboard in place.

After he left I dug the trench and burried the conduit that had the fibre through it - it runs from the base of a pole on and at the edge of my property to the house. I made sure to hermetically seal both ends of the conduit.
