Fiber optic cable

A technician connected a temporary fiber optic cable on top of the  ground October of last year. 2 or 3 weeks later 2 young men came and ran a buried cable from the bottom of the utility pole  to the box outside the house and told me a technician would have to come out and make the connections. It is now August and I'm still having to cut my grass around it. I've called service twice and both times got some service number and never heard from anyone. 10 months seems a little excessive to have to wait for a technician to come connect my permanent cable. Am I wrong?
