A few years ago, I moved into my new home, DSLReports.com told me that fiber ran through our HOA— but it stopped at the front entrance. For the past two years, I’ve been pestering the local fiber company, negotiated a bulk pricing package, and presented the deal to our HOA board: gigabit service (1000/1000 Mbps) for just an extra $35 a month added to our fees. It became a huge fight—some of the long-time residents kept insisting that “this is America” and we should have the freedom to choose our own provider.
Finally, last year, it went to a vote—and by the skin of our teeth, the motion passed. This week they’re boring the conduit in the ground, and I am finally on the brink of that sweet fiber upload speed. I couldn’t be more excited!
What extremes have you all done? I have seen some crazy starlink installs!
