Ask HN: The Bay Area has tons of dark fiber; why do we have no fiber options?
Oh, what would it take to get residential fiber up and running?
- kogir 12y agoThe dark fiber probably isn't near you. If it is, you can usually lease it and trench to your house. Most people don't do this because even after the one time trench fee, leasing the line and connecting at an exchange are just expensive. I looked into doing this on the Palo Alto municipal fiber ring. Would have cost $700-1000 per month. Pass.
