But less well-received by the neighbors of those customers:

I can understand that, my anecdotal experience with AT&T fiber when they rolled out was that they dug up half the curb in front on my driveway and left a trench covered with a unsecured piece of 2 inch plywood for almost 3 months. They blocked half my driveway and gave me no notice or contact info. I'm not even one of their customers, it's just their box happened to be in front of my house.

Yea I was not happy, and insulted when service rolled out and their rep only offered me 5% discount to make up for construction.

Sure, but this not what OP said.
