Its PTMP, so if I run fiber it would be to the home. In the neighborhood I'm in it's about 400 homes right now. They are on phase 2 of 9. The next 2 phases are high density housing and then the rest are homes to total about 2400 homes. Laying fiber will be easy and cheap for the remaining phases. It will be more difficult in the ones already built. It will be around 80k -150k linear ft.
Anyone ever work with Coax? It's cheap and I can splice it easily. Is this cost similar to fiber?
