    In Spain many towns have some tiny local ISP that offers fiber. My town (population 30k) has two local ISPs. I can get 10Gbit for 30 euros/month. Even remote villages have fiber.

        Pro tip: move to Schleswig-Holstein, where every village has fiber lol. 86% availability vs the german average of 12%

      But here in merica cable internet providers have done everything they can to stop fiber from happening.

      They do this through legal injunction. They don’t play fair they have the courts stop compilation for them.
