A city FTTH system makes sense 10 years ago.
Today, private players (5G, and others like ourselves) are going to make municipal broadband projects a giant money pit. It used to be like shooting fish in a barrel. Today, not so much.
When cable companies could only offer 25mbps, FTTH is a God-send. When the cable companies *CAN* offer 1gbps, then fiber networks are less worth their huge pricetag for the taxpayers.
Suddenlink's service (when working) isn't too bad. If they would fix their terrible customer service and quit playing games with pricing, there would be little incentive for a $100,000,000 (not exaggerating) project to overbuild them.
But, I guess, I will wait to see how this survey plays out. If the city doesn't do it, I will.
Fill out our survey so we can locate where to start first:
