A comment on Rural Kansas is dying. Parent comment
a) cooperative local government that lets you use the ROW (right-of-way) without a lot of hassle
b) 100% aerial plant, very little or no underground. Aerial is way cheaper.
c) relatively low cost labor for bucket truck construction crews to hang the aerial fiber.
I'd never heard of this WTC / Wamego before, not surprising since I do nothing facilities based near the midwest. But for those who are interested:

Kind of surprising to find an ISP with that much v4 space that hasn't put effort into reaching a major IX point and actually peering with anybody yet... They have BGP sessions with Cox, and HE transit, and that's it.
