60K in 10 years is not very expensive if you didn’t have to pay for the digging itself. That could easily be as expensive without any service. Now I don’t know what happens after your current contract though, whether it will be reduced or if you have options to switch providers…
Supposedly it drops to something like $60/mo (in today's dollars). The rest is actually me having agreed to subsidize the digging itself. I just looked again it's actually 8 years, so on the whole I still feel like it was worth it.
In fact, I remember them telling me they went way over budget on the project so I'm actually underpaying (we signed agreements prior to them breaking ground). So I guess that aligns.
Good one. And your commune wouldn't pay for any of it ?
Not sure what you mean by commune?
I'm not sure... the town ? district maybe ?
Ohhh okay, sorry, I wasn't sure if by commune you meant I lived in a multi-family commune - which I don't.
Unfortunately, no, the actual town I live in address-wise has a whopping population of about 1000 people but that's spread out over multiple multiple acres of farmland. And on top of that I'm on the edge of said town boundaries. If I lived in the town itself I would have had access to fiber internet without having to get a line trenched, unfortunately, I don't.
Because it only benefits my property, no subsidies or anything available.
I see. Well you still made a good investment
