You'd be suffering from the last mile [1] problem. Tumbler Ridge likely got the fibre connection due to some industrial/govt user (the museum? the former mine? the archaelogists?), and delivering fibre to other households would be a weeks work which might just make sense to do while the crews are already out there.
