Meanwhile, in my neck of the woods in NY, we have Archtop Fiber who raised $350m from a private equity firm to build a fiber network and get everyone in our area to switch away from Comcast (only alternative). They're signing up entire neighborhoods for about $60/mo (and installing the necessary fiber infrastructure at the same time).
I was excited to see the local investment in fiber, especially in such a rural area, but I'm a bit less excited now that I see it's funded by private equity.
