TWC is owned by Charter now. So... just wait a few months. I already see the changes and fuck they suck. The issues I'm getting went on because the local node is original equipment from circa 1970. The new company is trying to run the same new shit through the ancient incompatible node and it fucks up.

AT&T was paid by the local governments to create utility poles which they only sort of own.

As in they got tax payer money to put the poles up. Very little of this shit is directly funded by AT&T.

Yeah. If it's AT&T's poles then they shouldn't be forced to play ball with Google. Google should run their fiber underground. Aerial wires are crap. Every time the wind kicks up or a tree falls or some dumbshit crashes into a pole you lose power and comms. Underground is the way to go.

It also ensures separation between competitors. Good thing.

Yes, AT&T needs to be forced to share the pole. Power companies are forced to share with AT&T, and there's a reason for it. It reduces the amount of poles needed in a given area. In return for being forced to share the pole, a company has to compensate the owner/maintainer of the pole. It's a simple and mandated practice in the industry.

Also, running underground is way more expensive than aerial. It's also more difficult and time consuming to repair.

Not to mention the fact that the taxpayers likely funded this 'private' venture.

Did you know AT&T customers are still paying for 19th century telegraph service, It's under "fees".
