I was wondering how hard it would be to get fiber for your neighbourhood so I decided to guesstimate how much it would cost for my area just for fun
I know I'm forgetting a lot of things but the costs i've seen (assuming nothing is buried) and you get some buddies to help
(lets pretend we like 10 km away from somewhere to hookup the fiber, and that we can get 50 people to sign up)
Shared costs:
pole rental = $5 per pole per year 262 poles = $1310 yearly
Singlemode Cable: $500 per km so $5k for 10km
gigabit transit: $12k per year
routing/switches/ other hardware = $4000
(I know its inefficient but it seems a mediaconverter to a 48 port switch back to fiber to each persons home its the best I can think of other than gpon)
Customer costs:
5-10 poles to reach main line = 2.08/4.16 per month (remember that this will only be in your neighbourhood so most of these will service more than one home)
TWO 1gbit Media Converters=$100 one time cost
250m of singlemode = $150
install time if you do it yourself so lets say $70?
Startup out of pocket for equipment would be $9000
So that would mean you would have a $320 install cost
and the shared monthly price for lets say 50/50 or (100/100 if you want to be risky) will be ~$50 plus 20 per month extra for maintenance and profit
So that would mean 100/100 FTTH for around $70 per month plus tax I know this is bad math and I'm forgetting a lot but remember this is for fun
