In speaking with one of the Quantum techs today during an install, I realized Quantum is installing new fiber in areas of the Villages where the old Century Link copper phone lines were installed because they already have the "Right-of-Way". Since they have the Right-of-Way they can dig up the street and install new fiber.

In areas South of Rt44 where there is no fiber, probably means no Right-of-Way so in my opinion that reduces the chances dramatically for Quantum or anyone else to install new fiber in these area.

I have no idea why Quantum or Centric didn't install fiber in Chitty Chatty, Bradford, Richmond and other areas south where you can only get cable. Starting in Dabney, Centric Fiber pre installs the fiber in the new home builds.
