I've done quite a few overhead services, and the home I'm buying has underground, 100 amp. That's another thing that will be goin, and I'll upgrade to 200 amp. I've heard that guys do them live, instead of calling the power Company to disconnect and reconnect. I don't think I want to chance it, just in case the sevice lateral shorts, as I go to remove conduit. Have you guys had good luck working the cable live onto the lugs of the meter pan. I may call, and ask for a shutdown.
