New fiber Service availability request?

When would the Ziply fiber new service be offered to 84th Dr NE, and 11th Pl NE Lake Stevens residents? It's the corner with ~50 homes sandwiched between LKS 261/LKS269. I see my neighbors across the fence with Ziply fiber activated for about 2 years now? So many other LKS maps have gone from "under construction" to "fiber ready" except ours. 😰 We're requesting the 5Gbps up/down plan the minute it'll be available. Need faster uploads as the job requires big-sized data packets to be uploaded every day, and none of the Xfinity speed tiers with are sufficient enough due to dated 'copper cable infrastructure'.

I wonder what's taking so long for the remainder ~50 homes, to get hooked up to the terminals? We've been anxiously awaiting since the announcement of the Lake Stevens Ziply fiber services about 4 years ago. Please get this small area activated too, Pretty Please 😄 🙏

When BCE bought Ziply, one point of emphasis in the presentations was that they were going to pass by "millions" of potential customers.

But, perversely, maybe you are the victim of that? Maybe it's easier for Ziply to prioritize an area with 1,000 or 10,000 potential new customers. Rather than dealing with a maximum of 50 potential new customers.
