ᐅ Utility Connection: Telecom Company Refuses to Penetrate Watertight Concrete Structure

trapjawHello,
we are currently in the middle of building our house (basement: waterproof concrete) and have already requested the application documents from the telecom provider for the house connection.
Summary: The telecom provider does not want to carry out a gas- and water-tight house entry seal, including sealing the cables they install where they enter the house — this responsibility is expected to be handled by the homeowner.
When we asked our site manager, he explicitly advised against us doing this ourselves (or having it done), as we would otherwise be liable for the connection. Based on experience in our building region, the telecom provider usually makes this difficult, but in this case, they want to "be firm."
The problem now is that despite multiple phone inquiries, the telecom company continues to refuse, and we are going in circles.
We are now considering submitting the application anyway and then trying to "resolve" the situation on site with the contractor or through our site manager. The application itself does not mention this issue, but it is addressed in the cover letter and in the "important notes regarding the house connection."
Does anyone have experience with this matter?

How do you bring the other utilities into the house? There are special multi-utility entry systems where the telecom provider can also be included.In the municipality where we will be building, the site manager says that multi-utility entries are unfortunately not used.
