Easy solution: drill 2 holes in the porch slab, 3+ feet either side of the service meter. Drive one 10 foot ground rod through each hole, until at least 8 feet is in contact with the earth (top 8-12 inches are exposed, so inspector can read the length of the rods) Run PVC sleeves from service panel in house to each ground rod, and connect the GECs via acorn clamps. After inspection, a "housekeeping" slab, 7-8 feet wide by 2 feet deep and 8-10 inches thick, may be placed atop and surrounding the ground rods to neaten up the entire service area. Have the telephone on one side of the meter and the cable TV on the other.
