These bills have been passed multiple times over the last couple decades and the result is always the same. In places like NY, they claimed to have run fiber to millions of homes but they never actually connected it to any of these homes, it just runs along under the street out in front of them, therefore they can claim these homes are "covered by fiber."

And the fuckers want ten grand from the homeowner to jack it in. The drop won't even be owned by the homeowner afterward either. It's literally criminal.
