No, it is not long gone. It is available everywhere.

We have a land line phone & internet with Ziply Fiber, who bought out Frontier last year.
We live out in the country, on the mountain. Our electric lines & phone lines are underground.

I recently got a mailer from Ziply Fiber telling me that they were going to be installing fiber in my neighborhood, and that I should go to their website for the construction schedule. When I went and looked at their map, I'm in their yellow zone, which indicates Future Fiber Under Consideration. I'm kind of skeptical, even of that. In the six years I have lived here, this is the third company that I have seen claim to be installing fiber in my area. Even going so far as to provide construction maps and pictures of their trucks stringing fiber cable up onto poles. Then as quickly as they appear, they disappear never to be heard from again. Ziply Fiber does seem to be a little more legitimate, but I will believe it when I have it installed.

I do hope Ziply Fiber does become a reality here. We need the competition. I'm paying Charter Spectrum $80 a month for a 200 mbps connection, that even after three years I'm still only getting 115 mbps on. If I have the option of Ziply Fiber, I could jump back and forth between the two and get a much lower introductory rate. Meanwhile Charter Spectrum keeps sending monthly offers for cable TV service. You would think that after six years of mailing that crap to me, they would get the idea that I'm not interested in their 1980s era Cable TV service, but I guess not.
