That's one of the probelems here too. People want fiber, but few want to pay for it. There have been several projects were fiber was brought into people's home for free. Expecting that when it was there, people would subscribe to the service. One of my sisters in law has the fibre brought into the house. The ONT is there in the meter cabinet. It has been there for three years now and she is still on DSL because that is enough for her and it is cheaper...
Same with one of the syops in net 280. The ONT has been there for over a decade. But he is still on DSL. He didn't like the deal with the fiber boys.
So now the fiber boys have mostly stopped digging trenches and installing ONTs for free in hope that people will subscribe. Now they will only start digging if they get a minimum of X % of the potential customers to sign a contract for Y years.
