I'll do ya one better than that.
Because of existing telecom networks its nearly impossible for new fiber companies to do any work in large to medium cities in the US. Even Google couldn't do it because Comcast/Spectrum/TW wouldn't allow them to lay cable. In areas not already served by the big ISPs though there's nearly no red tape. Sandy, Oregon (pop 12,000) laid a municipal fiber network for $30/month. This guy in Michigan said fuck it after he couldn't get anything laid to his house and built his own ISP.
