This might only answer half your question but we don't install a customer until the entire pon cabinet is done, main line all done and main cross splice cases are done. (About 250 houses usually is the size) So if its a new install drop and that handhole doesn't have a splice in yet (because this is the first of 4-6 drop handhole) so I would say it takes at least 4-6 man hours to do this. We usually will have a drop crew install the drop a day before and splice everything up to the house. Than our wireless installers install inside the house the next days. Drop guys get durty and usually its hard to guess how long a drop will take so we have found it easier for the inside installer to come later.
