Transfer of FiOS Service to a new location

Newbie

We are building a house and transferring our existing FiOS account (internet/TV/phone) to this new address. Verizon Tech Team said FiOS is available at the new address and the new connection will be Aerial. New house is a pipe-stem house with a 500 ft driveway surrounded by woods. Only thing we can see is a new electric pole the utility company put at the beginning of the drive way. They ran the electric cable underground the entire length of the driveway to power-up the house. Can anybody explain how Verzon is bringing the FiOS Fiber optic cable to the house Aerially?
Thanks
John

If they're putting an Aerial cable up they'll most likely be installing another pole onto the property. 500ft is going to need to need a few poles from where the trunk is to reach your home so they are not extending the cable leaving it to hang freely for too much of a distance. They may also do an underground burial if all of your utilities are supposed to be underground. It's hard to say how they will accomplish that if your home is surrounded entirely by a forest but it shouldn't be any different from how they'd hook up a copper telephone line.

Regardless, Verizon will figure it out when they come out to hook up your service and they should install anything that is needed to get the cable to reach you.
