I also haven't dealt with cable companies since right before Katrina;
however - afaik - you just need to get in touch with their
construction division to see where your nearest tap is, and how many
ft of cable they are willing to run for whatever level of service
you're ordering. Then the rest of the bill is something for you to
take care of. At least that's how Adelphia, ComCast and Time-Warner
have done it in the past.

I would be curious to know if this is still the method, or is
Cox/Charter are different for some reason.

Allow me to jump in here now that I am back in town. Cox Business Internet provides several services via Cable and
Fiber. We have fiber to all areas of our system to different degrees. The location in question may already have fiber
nearby. If you would send me the contact information via my business email address I will make sure it gets escalated
to the correct person to provide a quote for services.
