Glorious. Maybe it's a West Coast thing. In most of the south, besides maybe Austin or Atl, we ain't got no fiber to be shootin'.

  There's something Special about Oregon and fiber optic placement (at least, that's what I was told at the time; the article says instead this was Google owned fiber that was undergrounded eventually). AT&T Fiber is in Austin. In my neighborhood, that's delivered via the overhead lines. My internet connection is literally a fiber that drops form a cable in my backyard from a bigger fiber, through my wall, into a fiber terminator. If you shot at that cable, about 500 people might lose access. In other locations, I assume they undergrounded conduits a long time ago and run the fiber through that to a local box, which then either runs underground to houses, or ... over poles that drop to houses. it really is a series of tubes
