    Start with bringing in the fiber. I can deal without overnight delivery, a good sushi place or a brewpub, but I draw the line at fiber

        WFH jobs may not require fiber to the home, but if there’s no fiber infrastructure to support the overall traffic of the area then it’s just not going to work. Particularly when we’re talking about getting internet out to rural areas - fiber carries signal much further than copper, and can thus reach more communities.

        Maybe I’m spoiled with fiber but I know I’d never want to go back, even just for video calls. Give how over-provisioned and glitchy most internet connections are, you do need a huge margin of overcapacity to get a reliable call in.

        But yeah, as the other guy said, you’re going to need fiber to the town for more than a couple people. Even cable internet needs fiber to the neighborhood.
