Admittedly dumbass question about internet service

Telephone company laid fiber down the road in front of our hunting cabin.
Say I want to get that service (internet) to the cabin.
Who is responsible for getting that fiber from the road to the cabin? Do they install it completely and recoup that cost over time as I pay for the service? Or do they do it and charge me?
How does that work?
I'm asking here because I never can remember to call those folks while they are open.

Depends on the company and the cost. I have seen that go all kinds of directions.

Might depend on the distance from the road to the cabin.
You'll just have to remember to call when they're open.

My internet company ran the fiber from the pole at the road to my house about 100 feet total.
I don’t remember it costing anything.

I remember when we built a commercial building AT&T said it would cost $50,000 to run fiber to the building.
We signed like a 5yr contract so we wouldn't have to pay that 50k

Define "laid fiber down the road" is there a pedestal or something on the road?

There are subsidies for connecting rural homes in many places, you might not have to pay extra.

Typically, the service provider will run it up to an interface box on your exterior. That’s all on them. It’s called a DMARC. Anything going further into the structure is your responsibility.
