MAKOMIKE here's how you do it...

Take a small piece of rag.... Tie it to a piece of polypropylene electricians pull string...this stuff is very lightweight but very strong. Stuff it in the conduit...go to the other end and take a standard vacuum cleaner and stick it over as much of the piece of conduit as you can...if it leaks then wrap a rag around it. It will suck the line right thru the conduit right beside what's there...in about 4 seconds your done.

On new conduit you can use a "mouse" that ties to the line and sucks thru, this is how I do it, but if your thrifty you can save yourself alot of time and aggravation....I do this stuff all the time and I can pull a cable in a 1000' conduit in about 5 minutes flat

Works on T top legs too

As far as dish detergent for pull soap...use the electricians pull lube...it dries to powder and makes less of a mess later on. You shouldnt need it if you got a helper. If it feels like it's getting tight then pull back and you should be able to move through the tough spot if you pull without stopping.

Mike nobody's boxes are free, we don't charge extra for the channels. If you already subscribe to a channel, and there is an HD equivalent they give it to you when you et a box. Concast charges for the box, extra for the digital service, and extra for the HD channels.

Mike those HD channels you are saying you have to pay extra for, are free with an HD box with an HD box you get the HD Broadcast, and the HD Nationals. The only ones that are extra is the movie channels tha you have to subscribe to. If you are not getting those channels call in. You should have 20+ HD channels.

The HD box in itself costs extra.Nothing's free.It costs extra.

Standard Cox Digital already comes with 20 Hd channels as long as you've an HD capable TV.Movie channels you'd have to pay for anyways.

Verizon(w/fios) has a very,very long way to go even to possibly be competative with established companies like Cox in either the business or the residential field.

I spent way to many years dealing with verizon phone,DSL and satellite tv.When Verizon can do something better than make FIOS that much faster than my already existing business internet and provide even slightly better tv and phone service,I might switch but the price would have to be right.
