    I wish. I also wish I could be connected to the fiber that is literally 1 mile away from my house.

      I wish I had fiber as an option at all in our area.

      Only options are comcast or DSL. Both suck.

        Have you checked lately? There’s WISPs popping up all the time and there are more cellular based options than ever. I’m using T-Mobile for $50/month I’m getting 250Mbps download.

      I have fiber but my town is building muni fiber that will be $25/mo cheaper for the same speeds. They just finished another segment. It stops 200 ft south of my property. They’ll be back to finish the area in about 18 months after they do most of the north side of town first.

      I just moved, but my previous house has fiber 100 feet away, but the ISP wouldn’t hook me up because they insisted that they needed at least 10 houses to commit in a neighborhood before they’d put service in it. I tried to get my neighbors on board for 3 years before I sold my house to move an hour away. Still no fiber, but there’s no fiber to tease me with now, heh

        Such a shame. It would even be more helpful to other neighbors by bringing competition in.

        I have fiber running LITERALLY through my back yard, because they couldn’t be bothered to string it from pole to pole for my neighbor, but yet they ‘Can’t’ run service to my building with 7 households/customers.
