Waterbury, CT | I recently read somewhere where Verizon said that they're saving a lot of money on the back end in areas where they're rewiring with fiber.
They said service calls are down very significantly in the newer wired areas.
And so, really to arrive at a fair comparison, I think that has to be taken into account too.
Just one or two truck rolls to a house costs a lot of money too.

It sure would be nice to see that fiber deployed all over the place, but Verizon and the other telcos just don't have the money for that kind of deployment.
