It’s not unheard of. But it’s totally lame.
I sat in a room with a rep from another fiber company and my construction guys once. It was a 14 mile run and they wanted some huge amount up front and $5k monthly for 10 years. I turned to my crew guys and asked how much to build 288 count fiber with conduit along that same run. It was around $280k. Then I turned back to the rep and said, “I guess I’ll just build it myself and sell it all day long for $1000k a month and no up front.” They didn’t like that answer.
