Why haven't you run your own fiber from your house to the nearest carrier hotel?
I'm not expecting you to do that, but I want to trigger some discussion on what are the exact reasons we all don't do that.

- forgotaccount3 2mo agoI don't have Fiber. I have never needed more bandwidth. I work from home 1 or 2 days a week. My current bandwidth is more than sufficient for my personal usage. And I exclusively use Wifi, other than a TV and a Nintendo Switch that happen to be right next to the router so are plugged in. So even if I had fiber, I literally wouldn't know a difference because my wifi would be the bottleneck still. Back when Google Fiber was rolling in, no one I knew was looking forward to it because they had need for the increased bandwidth. They looked forward to it because the expectation of a 'Google' branded product was better than the expectation of a 'Comcast' branded product. It was more about the expected uptime and consistency.
