January 11, 2025 I am fortunate that when we moved into our home 5 years ago our service provider was just coming into the area and offered to split the price of laying fiber lines. We are the only home in out neighborhood at the moment that has this service. Since we are in such a rural area internet service can be very hit or miss and neighborhoods that are within walking distance don't have any access to true high-speed internet like we do.
