Yeah, amusing in a perverse way.
Years ago I had gotten an "ATT fiber coming soon" notice, but still not here. In the end its simply the usual issue with internet access in the US -- ISPs have zero incentive to invest/improve, there's no meaningful competition. With everyone WFH its even worse -- oversubscribed networks are causing trouble all over (esp if you use a cable ISP).
When a city (or someone like Google) brings fiber in a meaningful way, it only then lights a fire under the incumbents' ass. In theory cities with non-buried lines (like Mountain View) may be easier to upgrade; but it still depends on ATT granting pole access (which they promptly slowwalk).
