Minneapolis has a private fiber ISP, my brother is in Madison and they too have private fiber available widely. I was under the impression there had been a lot of fiber deployment in cities in the past five years.
- k8svet 3y agowell, you're under a very, very, isolated/bad impression.
- samdcbu 3y agoUS Internet (private fiber ISP in the Twin Cities) is an anomaly, not the norm. Minneapolis is incredibly lucky to have a local, private ISP that offers fiber to the home at up to 10 gigabit/s. The only other ISPs in the US that I know offer similar services are either municipal ISPs, co-ops, or Google Fiber.

- swanee 3y agoThe Midwest absolutely has seen a lot of fiber going in the ground with federal money the past couple years and Metronet has expanded pretty aggressively.
