Hmm, Culpeper and Richmond are only 'Southern Virginia' compared to Arlington/Mclean/NCR area.
Microsoft's project is WAY out in the middle of nowhere, right near the Carolina border, but conveniently, nowhere near Hampton Roads (Norfolk/Virginia Beach area), where this is actually a sizable population (where I live).
I guess there's probably a sizable fiber bundle down I-85, and they're simply peeling off of that. The only other real fiber deployment in South Eastern VA is the Lambda Rail and DoD leased fiber going to Norfolk Naval Station.
