That's not possible. There are many places with underground power and comm lines. They're not getting fiber anytime soon. I speak from personal experience.

I worked in the field as well. Idk how they are doing it but thats what the installation guy said. 100% residential maybe idk. The guy came to my condo ran about 200 ft of fiber to the pole. Drove down the rode to a different pole to terminate everything and it was done. Idk why im being downvoted. Fuck it, if you want to pay for optimum or comcast go for it.

Maybe the guy was exaggerating with 100% by the end of the year or I heard him wrong but they are working towards that number and it should be complete in a few years. The progress is definitely showing and it is the best residential internet service I have ever had at a very reasonable price. Its overkill for my internet usage but i ll take it.

A lot of companies claim fiber when the fiber is just running to the drop and it's copper to the house.

The GoNetSpeed coverage ends at both ends of my street, but doesn't cover anything in the middle because of underground lines. In that short distance they could still offer 1Gbs to everyone on my street if they were allowed to tap into the underground copper but if I had to guess, they can't do that because of line ownership. It's all a bunch of bullshit.
