After probably 5 years of having fiber less than 5 miles from our house and having to pay Xfinity extra for no cap, both that company and our power company expanded into our neighborhood about a month ago. The power company has not gone "live" yet, but the other did.
Our bill went from $117 to $65 at least for the first 3 years. It'll go up after but we'll also have 3 choices. Xfinity was 800/12, the fiber is 1gb/500.
It was pretty satisfying cancelling Xfinity even though we had no issues with it as a service, just overpriced.
