Don’t look at it like that. Say at $49/month you clear $40/month. That is $480/year or $480/$2000=24% return on your asset. An asset that does not lose value over time. Sweet deal indeed.

If the sub is paying $49/month for internet, that will take forever to pay off.

How are you paying for it. If I do a simple calculation of money invested/loaned and number of subs I get $2088 per sub. That’s active Ethernet, full burial conduit to each house/unit with lots of miles of overbuild and miles and miles of extra fiber/conduit. We also build at cost, not full retail (partners are build crews). I expect from here on out to be nearer half that using existing infrastructure and possibly GPON.

How are all of you fiber guys paying to get this stuff in the ground ? All self financing ? What is a good estimate to bore say 100 or 500 houses passed in a suburban neighborhood that's all asphalt and concrete sidewalks with ~5000sqft lots for pon? I know it could vary vastly but just a ball park ? $1000 per house passed ?
