Verizon's fiber rollout was disingenous. Installer's were told to disconnect the old copper connections to the house. The old copper connections in many states had open access requirements. The new fibre connections meant you were now locked into Verizon's fibre with no open access requirement. Disclosure: I was a Verizon vendor and worked closely with several of their staff. At an individual level they were nice folks. But, their corporate culture only understood competing as a monopoly and didn't know how to play on a level playing field.
