My experience is similar to defective. 'standard' shop vac sucking 'pull string' (bailing twine) through 3/4 up to 4 inch conduit. All low-voltage stuff but if pulling enough through a big conduit we would use the pull string to pull in a rope and use that to pull the cable.
Network cable is sensitive to stretching so you can't pull very hard. Lots of pull boxes in the conduit runs which makes it easier to pull by hand but takes longer to pull in a long run. Personally I like to stay away from lube unless absolutely necessary. Some of that stuff sets up like concrete after it dries out. When you are pulling slack at one pull box to feed down the line if the cable is lubed it is one huge mess.
