New but rather old house in Breckenridge, CO I need to set my business up and need fast internet. Current home on 5 acres has a dish - not gonna fly i am afraid. I have been told fiber is running up and down my street with All. Is there a way to independently have a line run from house to theirs? Are there independent contractors that can help me with this? thanks!

no. You need to talk to the folks that own the fiber.

My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder." |

Call around for network contractors in/near your area to find out who will do it.

Like Impaqt said, they HAVE to contact the service provider. The service provider are the ONLY ones that are legally able to install the connection coming from the road. Once the "subscriber line" (whatever form it maybe) is on their personal property (not right-of-way), then they can do with as they please.

Put up a little shed at the street and have service installed. Then run fiber to the house. Although, this may be more expensive than just having the service provider do it.

Service providers have a distance from the pole to your house policy. Within a certain distance, there is no special charge for the fiber run to the house. Would the fiber need to cross a public right of way? If not, it would not be too hard to run fiber in a conduit. At your end of the fiber you'll need power for the ONT.

Like everyone has said, contact the service provider. Each one has different ways they install the service.
Here in Ontario, in this area there are 3 providers that have the territory divided up between themselves, some of it overlapping. The telephone company advertises fibre, but it is only to a service box down the block or even several blocks away and it switches to telephone wires. In our old location it changed to a 50 year old corroded cable with lots of noise. They wouldn't change it, only try another pair of wires in the cable. The cable company uses their TV cable to feed the internet.
Where we are now, the service provider offers fibre, and installs a fibre line right into the house, with an excellent signal. So you need to find out what your local service provider will provide and how they will connect you up.
