In Rochester, NY we are fortunate to have a local company competing with Time Warner by offering gigabit fiber to the home[1]. The local company is hugely popular, and based on their rate of expansion, very successful.

When my house was built in 1890 it did not have electricity, and all rooms were illuminated by gas lights. As of last year, it has gigabit fiber. Infrastructure can change. It helps to have locals take action, and citizens have to be vocal.
