I have a second fiber connection and found out recently that both fibers come along the same route and when a fire took out a utility pole, I lost both connections.
I then found out that all providers bar one (there are 5 or 6) come along the same street.
So if you are going to go with this option choose carefully your providers!
This entirely.
“I like docsis”… cool, it turns to fiber 500ft after your house.
Gotta love the new suckered generation of "Fiber-Powered With Asterisks Internet" being advertised by the cablecos. "Fiber powered and delivered to the home by HFC!"
