Agreed....this is why monopolies are bad and municipal fiber is good.


It's not like municipal fiber has some magic spell to make last mile
affordable though. On OP's instance he would run into the same issue and
would be paying that five figure amount to bring FTTP. Municipal fiber is
only good if you happen to live where a municipality has already buried
conduit.

I'm not saying we should support monopolistic practices, but "municipal
fiber everywhere!" isn't necessarily the answer either.
