Don't assume that's when it will be available. We had the fiber line dug in through our neighborhood back in March, but they're still laying it in other areas nearby, and apparently they are waiting to turn it on until they're done with all of it, which is supposed to be done sometime this fall, according to the original plan announced before they started any of it, sometime last year. If there's been any delays since then I guess I'm stuck waiting longer.
And since I'm stuck at home due to a major medical issue (hopefully should only be a problem for another year or so), once it does become available I will still have to convince my parents that ditching our cable connection and using online streaming to get all their channels and ad free streaming of anything not currently broadcasting along with Internet that's literally 40x faster than what we have here now while AT THE SAME TIME saving like $80-$90 per month is worth it. Mom in particular is so hesitant to have to learn anything different that I think she'd rather still pay the higher amount just because she's used to it.
We've had the fiber trunk line run through the back yard for 6 months or so. Luckily they have called and installs are running 4 to 6 weeks out at the time they called.
Feel very lucky fiber is even go an option. We are a good 3 miles from the closest town of 25 or so houses and 20 miles from the nearest city where the fiber originates from. It's a joint venture with a small company and our electric utility.
