It's not like municipal fiber has some magic spell to make last mile affordable though. On OP's instance he would run into the same issue and would be paying that five figure amount to bring FTTP. Municipal fiber is only good if you happen to live where a municipality has already buried conduit. I'm not saying we should support monopolistic practices, but "municipal fiber everywhere!" isn't necessarily the answer either. >
