Gotcha. I’d say just keep in mind the $25 price bump in year 2. As long as it’s stable, it would beat the snot out of the DSL. I’d hope any growing pains with Fidium would be worked out by the time your area is live. As long as someone doesn’t get the ol’ fat fingers in your Fiber Distribtion Hub or the Ash St central office, it should be rock solid (barring acts of nature, pole hits, fiber cuts, and the large list of other stuff that can takes connections down).

And if you’re in a multi tenant building, just get your landlord on board (if applicable). Fidium will have to run a new drop, and then a fiber jumper to your desired location. They usually run the jumper on the outside and straight in via an ~1/2” hole, unless there’s conduit/interior path established that doesn’t require fishing and/or has a pull string.

And I know I don’t get why FirstLight let’s their FTTX network rot in L/A, in regards to residential service. Oxford Networks was gung-ho on it for a while, and decided to stop selling it to hyper focus on business even before FirstLight bought them out.
