I am guessing your are in an urban environment, if it is not too urban two miles is a great half year weekend project for laying fiber yourself.



Believe me, I've thought about it. Unfortunately it's a county-owned road.

The local power co-op is considering the idea of considering burying the powerlines, so I'm keeping a close eye on that. I wish I could get them interested in the idea of adding fiber internet to their services, but I'm told they can't do it anywhere they have above-ground power because of an agreement stating that CenturyLink gets to be the only ISP on the poles.
