Just give them another billion dollar grant from the federal government and they'll happily install fiber!

Just kidding, the telecom industry was already given 10's of billions to install fiber infrastructure and they took the money and instead of using it for fiber, the money just magically disappeared and hardly any fiber was installed. And there were zero consequences so they'll happily do it again.

Fidium has been laying a ton of fiber in Maine. We just had fiber go live here in Durham last month which I didn't think would ever happen.

Do you have underground utilities and/or live on a private road? If so, best of luck.

Underground utilities :/

Yeah, that will be tough unless they already have their own conduits and/or pedestals to use. GoNetSpeed covers almost all of North Windham except for where my parents live, so they are stuck with Spectrum too. Fidium has been covering more ground and they should eventually roll out to areas with underground utilities if the roads are public.
