Depends on the place. Live in rural Georgia (Carroll County). Within the last two years have had Spectrum fiber and Carroll EMC fiber run by the house. First is underground and second is on pole.


Have you ever wondered why each provider needs their own wire?

You could have the wire be owned by a utility and let companies compete with services?


I live in an insanely rural no-stop-light town, and they just ran 5gbps fiber outside my door. I already have 1gbps from another company.

Can't justify the 5gbps, though - it's like $170/mo + taxes.
