You pay for the total length of their fiber that you're using.
In my case I actually did want to get from Town A to B to C, and they
counted each leg as a separate IRU. The points where we stop at a
splice case were the ends of their run. So A-B was one billing item and
B-C was another.
I think a yearly maintenance fee is the typical arrangement but have also
heard of a strand leesee or maybe IRU owner needing to share a portion of
the costs for, say, a cable relocation due to road widening. All depends on
the agreement in place.
You can also expect to pay their splicer each
So do you only pay for the dark fiber for the physical cable length that
they have it, Like Splice box to splice box, then you put a pig tail on
the end of that. Or Would the 'Connection' cost be for every splice box
they have to go through. Say, a connection from City A to City C, but

In my experience you pay a recurring maintenance fee to cover repairs
and such.
You don't get to access their cases, so you leave them a pigtail and
they splice it into their system. Often you pay each time you need them
to make a connection for you (hopefully just the once).

I'm not in the dark fiber game, but what do you mean by 'per-event'
billing? Like if there's a fiber cut, you're responsible for part of
the repair cost? Or is that for like accessing the electronics on the
ends of the fiber.

Comparable to what I've seen before.
It seems nuts when you multiply it out over 30 miles, but not as nuts as
building it.

Those seem like fair rates, is that all inclusive or will you also get
billed for maintenance annually or per-event?

That’s not bad, on par with some long term dark fiber rental contracts I have
currently.

I’m trying to figure out if the rates Vermont asks for state-owned fiber are
