it’s forced some of the long stagnant Telco companies to actually compete and start rolling out fiber of their own.
The fact that they failed to do so of their own volition is reasonable grounds to continue to avoid said Telco even after they’ve finally deployed fiber.
Right, but in my case I’m not actually a customer of the local electric company that offers fiber. However pressure from them got my telco company (the only choice I have besides satellite) to offer me fiber, raising my max speed from 3Mb/s to 1000Mb/s.

Glad things turned out favorable for you.
