Around here, the local carrier seems to have stopped FTTH deployment. Instead, the carrier is convincing home builders not to spend money on demarc pre-wire. Wireless Home 5G service is all customers' need. Of course, the lack of demarc planning makes things more expensive for any post-construction competitor. And don't get me started about the lack of information of what's available in the utility easments. The builders don't know, and the service providers won't say. The FCC broadband maps are a lot of hand-waving by service providers.
