I lived pretty rurally in Northern Wisconsin a decade ago, and they
were running a fiber optic cable from east to west along the highway
out in front of our house.
I was told at the time that Williams was laying the fiber optic as
part of a backbone. Now all we had was dial up and a crummy cable
system so I was very interested in what was happening.
The truth is there are Fiber Optic cable all over the place, but they
may be different levels.
What is very close to you may be a backbone and not transmitting the
stuff you need.
