Hey! That's my setup as well! I have one DIA connection and a backup VPN over a shitty Comcast business connection that gets terminated in a nearby datacenter.
Getting an ISP to even _talk_ to me required quite a bit of sleuthing. And I was saying from the outset that I was ready to fully pay for the fiber run.
Apparently, ISPs in my locality actually divide the city into the service areas. How the heck this is legal, I don't understand.
Some tidbits from me: my ISP installed a big honking ADVA optical line terminal on my premises. Getting them to move it to their side and just provide me with an SFP connection is still my work-in-progress.
The support is also outsourced into India, and getting them to understand what you want over the phone is... painful. Fortunately, the web ticket system is good enough.
