Fortunately, that isn't entirely true in this case.

In rural western Utah (and eastern Nevada) we get fiber-to-house from a relatively small broadband company. It's pricey, and they are literally the only available service (apart from satellite), but they are doing great work. A few years ago, I thought the best this <50 house town could ever hope for was DSL. I was happily proved wrong.

My hope is that there are more businesses willing to do the same thing across the US.

Doesn't Utah have municipal fibre (UTOPIA?)

Apparently in some areas. Mostly northern Utah by the look of it.
