   @Adam_Cadmon1 It is more expensive as many have mentioned but there is reason for that. In order to install lines underground one needs to consider the heat generated by those lines. There should be sufficient circulation and protection for underground lines (not typically a large city concern). Also, it is easier for the company to fix hanging lines than underground ones in rural areas.
   It’s far more common for data lines to be run underground.

     Is there a safety reason why power lines shouldn't be run underground?
