Update: 95 People without internet and dropping
Literally a year ago I posted a request for advice on how to get my tiny rural town of 75 people internet and a lot of you all asked me to keep you updated, so here it is.
I ultimately secured 95 signed agreements from my entire town, each granting limited access to the private ISP in order to run the 2 miles of fiber optic cable across each property. Right now 15 properties are fully connected and seeing speeds of 200-300mps (Don't laugh, thats HUGE. Current average is 7 mbps!!). The rest are expected to be connected over the next 8 weeks, pending approval from our DOT to tunnel under the remaining roads.
Biggest upside is that we're able to split the cost of the installation across the town making the out-of-pocket expense for each of us under $200. I mean, I can't get satellite installed for that cheap!
You all provided a lot of good advice. Couldn't have done it without you Redditors!
