What should be done when planting a new underground drop cable route?

When planting a new underground drop cable route, asking the customer for specific routing preferences is essential because it ensures that the installation aligns with the customer's needs and complies with any property considerations they may have. This approach promotes customer satisfaction, as they are more likely to appreciate an installation that reflects their preferences regarding where the cable enters their property and how it is routed to their equipment. Furthermore, this consideration can help avoid potential conflicts, like running the cable through areas designated for landscaping or those that could cause future accessibility problems.

Understanding the customer's perspective is key for any installation, as it fosters good communication and promotes trust between the technician and the homeowner. It also helps in identifying any existing utilities or landscaping features that could influence the routing and installation process.
