Fiber trucks dug the orange tube - When can I expect service?
A few months back, ATT fiber trucks were trenching and placing an orange conduit in the ground. It has been several weeks since then and nothing on the website has changed for availability. I am unsure how often these services get updated but it states the only internet is the 3mbps. Our neighbor about 500ft down the road gets 18mbps (according to the ATT site).
Word has gotten around that she has fiber but I have yet to confirm it.
Spoke with a rude salesperson on the phone about this but I would like to speak to an engineer just to know if this is on their roadmap or if we are not expected for years to come.
Any advise is appreciated

Direct Fiber (FTTP) would show minimum of 300 with max of 1000 or 5000 depending on splitter in the PFP.
internet 18 or less (18, 10, 5, 3, 1.5 and .76) listed on upside is ADSL2 copper from either the central office (IP-CO) or remote terminal (IP-RT) and is based upon estimate of copper length from the source. 500 feet line of sight does not mean distance travelled or if coming from same source, neighbor could be RT while your address is CO based coverage.
Orange conduit could have been anywhere for anything … the question is was pedestal or hand hole placed every other address to provide individual service? If not the fiber could have been for cell tower, busines, school, government, or new development such as apartment complex or subdivision.

Following up on this, Apparently, our neighbors DO have fiber but they paid to have it brought out to the home. They pay $900/mo for the service. I am getting more info but I'm sure that is to cover the cost of install.

More info. So they purchased and had a specially ran dedicated circuit run to them (ADI). So now I will continue on this.

If desire what the neighbor has will need to do the same…
Residential fiber is landed, buildout deployment with fiber PFP and multiple splitters. Depending on the splitter available will have up to 32 accounts or 64 accounts per splitter. each splitter is a single fiber strand back to the CP. ADI is a single strand from the CO, no splitter, no shared fiber. Depending on speed tier desired cost will start around $500 for a 10/10 connection and be $2000+ per month for an internet 1000 service.
