I am rural and utterly tired of Comcast and still not having the mid-split. Regardless, it still wouldn’t be fast enough for me. They’re playing games with our township by not acknowledging that a new franchise agreement needs to be written up and/or signed (been going on for like a year). When I drive around the area I’m always looking at the lines running between poles. One day I noticed one of those round fiber splice enclosures on a numbered route about 5 miles from my home. I followed it and lo and behold it feeds the local cell tower. The line keeps coming towards my home to an intersection maybe a half mile away. I’m thinking this is some obscure company that leases out dark fibers to people. How do I find out who owns the lines? If I did find out, and that’s their game, how would one connect to the internet via dark fiber?
