Hi! I live on a major arterial in a major US city. We have buried utilities to my house, and my house was never wired for anything faster than what you can get on a phone line. Even though all six of my property-line adjacent neighbors (whose houses are in stone-throwing distance) have gigabit connections.

After 9 months and a call to the City Council, I finally got a quote from Comcast: $37,000 for copper. They laughed when I asked what it would cost for fiber.
