Regardless of the obvious moneygrab corruption, It’s not like the fiber program was ever going to work in the first place as long as private ISP’s were involved.
Fiber backbone got installed along 25 miles of rural county highway out in the valley my parents live in. The company paid to do it marks the area as “service coming soon”.
That was in 2018. The fiber is still dark with all the distribution boxes empty and not hooked up to anything, the only other options being $110/mo DSL in a very few select spots, a local mountaintop microwave wireless service that is basically turned off from November until April, or Starlink… and I’m guessing it’ll forever remain that way until the coming collapse of the USA.
