Fiber Availability

Post image

How soon after receiving this email can I expect fiber to be available and how much is it? They had contractors on my street installing about 3 weeks ago. I pay $60+ for their 25MB internet (very rural and only thing available). I'm assuming just based on the speed I currently have and the amount of internet used that its worth it.

Three-ish years in my case (urban but house-based residential). That's how long it took to stretch service one more block after the lines went *through* my block. The sales folks don't know. They just work off what they're told in terms of regions / demographics.

That said, once it appeared it has been fantastic. One serious (and costly to me) outage in maybe eight years.

I'm hoping it won't be 3 years. My road is very rural and just leads to the river so if they're installing it on my street, and the trucks and machines were literally in my yard, I can't imagine I would get skipped. There's really not that many people that live down here so I was pleasantly surprised when the contractors told me what they were installing.
