That’s insane!

Do they give you an option to draw your own lines? Any chance you can apply for some subsidy?

I really don’t know why in 2023 fiber internet is not treated the same as water or electricity..

It’s the ‘go away’ price quote. If someone was desperate enough they were willing to pay it, they’d figure out how to do it (probably), but really don’t want to.

I got a similar quote from PG&E to run power to a remote lot once, with the caveat that ‘maybe’ they could do it.
