I'm seeing AT&T run new fiber, underground in new conduit within existing communities ranging from 0.2 acre lots to 2+ acre lots both in the city limits and outside the city limits. These are affluent areas, not considered rural or economically disadvantaged. AT&T is actively retiring their copper network and replacing it with fiber. They're making an investment for the decades to come and can afford it. Shame, the service is marred by shit point of service equipment.
