Also make sure you use the right diameter…at least at the pole, not going to suggest or say I’ve stepped down to smaller under ground…but hey it’s buried only you will know

You mean diameter of conduit? What are typical, appropriate diameters?

Conduit size depends on wire guage. Wire guage depends on run length and amperage required.

I personally wouldnt skimp on conduit size...infact on smaller runs i often upsize. You'll thank yourself if you ever need to replace/upgrade the cable.

Not sure if it depends on your provider as well or not but Comcast is 4 inch (completely unnecessary IMO), Washington electric was also 4 inch

GMP doesn't want to deal with anything less than 4", but other comms routinely use 2" for cable or fiber, and yes, they are supposed to be separate conduits (for commercial work at least)
