I wish you could provide a "reverse" challenge. In Carroll County, GA Spectrum/Charter provide or are rolling out underground rural fiber. CarrollEMC/Crossbeam are rolling out "on the power pole" fiber in the same rural area. Neither show up on the map to the extent they are provided. It would significantly help my neighbors to know these are options.

Is it an option? Probably they are running the fiber but only for long haul and 5g wireless backhaul and wont actually sell you a connection to it.

Its available. Have been on 1G Spectrum for about 2 months now. Love it. They are competing with CarrollEMC/Crossbeam to get in first and sign up as many as possible before CarrollEMC is done with their rollout (which has a 6 year rollout plan).

FYI with Spectrum fiber make sure you're getting 500mbit upload. I had to fight them to get that fixed since my address still showed up as copper and was provisioned as such (1000/30 or whatever it is)
