Fiber Service
My neighborhood has quite a bit of reported fiber setup. This map was clipped from FCC, Green dots have fiber, FCC is reporting it as AT&T 5000 Mbs Symetrical.
Street names were removed.
About a block over a whole development had fiber ran and a street diagonol from me also appears to be connected.
I'm curious if there's anything on my end I can do with AT&T like a contract or above average installation fee if I was interested in getting fiber ran to my house. Or if it's such a high cost that it's not worth it for AT&T until such a time that they plan to roll the service out to more houses in the area.

Aerial from poles or underground buried fiber?
ATT engineering, planning and budget determines who and where will receive the fiber service.
The stated objective is 50% of hardwired footprint or 30+ million out of 60+ million addresses by end of 2025.
The rollout average rate is about 3 million addresses per year within the 21 state footprint with end of 2023 having been the 8th year since 2016 start ATT had reached 24 million addresses. That leaves 6 million and 2 year to complete the current planned fiber expansion.
Another report stated average cost to deploy is $3000 per address.
In 2022 and 2023 ATT spend $2 billion per month for fiber ($24 billion per year) and slated to spend $20 billion in 2024… that is $68 billion in just 3 of the 10 year build.
You can choose to wait and see for hardwired fiber, check for fiber to the cell tower known as ATT AIR or consider relocating to an existing ATT Fiber address…
From a post earlier this year aerial fiber is about $6.50 a foot to deploy while buried buried is $16.25 a foot.

All current lines (Power/Coax/Phone) are burried, I think the lines start at poles about 4 houses to the left of mine. So I'm assuming the fiber was run the same way but I haven't checked the poles to see.
Here's another, shot, It looks like they were starting to roll out more here so I'm hopeful within a year or so we would get added.
It's quite frustrating xD the residence I lived at before moving here was just about to get fiber, I feel like it's always just a block away but might as well be on the other side of the state.
