They installed fibre optic Internet in my neighbourhood a while back, and this is what the cable ducts look like. Also interesting to see how these get installed, with a sort of huge needle/drill on tracks.

    Good catch, that’s exactly what that is. Just to clarify my Job was to take it from the boundary of the property and finish the connection so I’m not super knowledgeable on those main lines but the fibre shot through them to us was about the size of that blue wire. There’s also a type that goes along phone lines instead of underground and that’s a thick black one with Kevlar in it.
