Meanwhile, in an affluent suburb of Pittsburgh, two companies are pulling new fiber, where there is already a provider and fiber lines. Why? Because of this. No one chooses Comcast unless they are the only game.

I'm surprised they're allowed to do with with Comcast being headquartered in Philly.

Pittsburgh is like 5 hours from Philly.
