Oh I know. They can.
I was paying 7.99 per mb of download speed, and 53.99 (!!!!!) per mb of upload speed via centurylink
I now pay .10 per mb of upload and .10 per mb of download through an electric co-op.
So I dont want to hear they cant build infrastructure. Cant and wont are two different things.

If that shitty company is part of RUS or other funding programs, that's how they are able to deploy ftth. I work for one of those small shitty isp's that recently finished a ftth rollout in the past few years. It doesn't entirely all come out of the company piggy bank. There are a number of programs geared to make that kind of thing happen.
