It&#x27;s unfortunate. I&#x27;d assume there was a good amount of re-location and development based on the speculation of Fiber being installed.<p>Supposedly Google is now pursuing wireless, surely after they realized that city planners and existing infrastructure companies could give a Hooli about &quot;disrupting&quot; thousands of miles of cable buried under city streets.<p>I guess the impending Fiber service did spur others to install their own fiber networks, so perhaps the benefit can be realized anyway - as long as you&#x27;re ok with CenturyLink ;)

I am always a little concerned when you increase the amount of radiation in an area. How will this affect children, animals, insects?<p>Having fiber would be the choice I would make if given the option.
