Maybe you have fiber leading out from your house to a junction box, but no fiber lines to the neighborhood / area?

Exactly. I have seen them working on getting it out of town but we have terrain here in the Ozarks and lots of rock. Sometimes solid rock many feet deep. Tough trenching and they have another 24 miles of hills and curves to get here, plus they'd only end up with half a dozen customers in "my neighborhood". Lots of cable to run with very little ROI. As an example, the closest grocery store is 18 miles away with 13 of that being gravel road. I pass three houses along those 13 miles.

When I left to do some shopping, US had 366 cases. Now it’s 603. Someone yesterday mentioned it doubling over the next 48 hrs. 22 deaths and only 8 recovered.
