While simultaneously saying broadband is available in your area because one house in the entire census track has it. We challenged the agreement with the town and they told us that we techmically had fiber service but it would cost 50k to activate it since they had to run fiber from their pop. Coupled with informing us that once we did so, our neighbors could then hook up for 49 bucks.

If only there were a way to spread that cost equally among the people who would benefit from it, and a legal structure for collecting that payment, representing the interests of the constituent people, and ensuring that the telco held up its end of the arrangement!
