The cost is not low. Trust me on that. I've been involved in a pretty massive suburban fibre deployment for the past decade... I expect we'll make money sometime in the 2030's... in time for me to retire. At 12:13 PM 02/02/2023, Forrest Christian (List Account) wrote:
The cost to build physical layer in much of the suburban and somewhat rural US is low enough anymore that lots of smaller, independent, ISPs are overbuilding the incumbent with fiber and taking a big chunk of their customer base because they are local and care. And making money while doing it.Â

Clayton, Did you leverage things like micro trenching for this project? I may be mislead, but I thought micro trenching these days has helped drive the cost of doing this down fairly significantly. Kevin On Thu, Feb 2, 2023 at 17:56 Clayton Zekelman <clayton@mnsi.net> wrote:

Micro trenching...in suburban or rural deployments? On Thu, Feb 2, 2023 at 7:59 PM Kevin Shymkiw <kshymkiw@gmail.com> wrote:

My neighborhood is currently serviced by coax only. A contractor for Frontier is digging, as I write this, in front of my home. They use a large Vermeer drill to pull a conduit underneath the sidewalks. We have existing conduits from the street to the homes. I talked to the foreman (who is the son of the owner), and he told me that they get around $100 per foot. That's for the conduit only, not a single fiber pulled. A city inspector comes every day to check up on their work. Thanks, Sabri
