Coax cable to the house, the last 100 feet or perhaps last mile, running DOCSIS can provide high bandwidths - you can get a gigabit per second, or better. The trunks are probably fiber. However, I think one of the big advantages of fiber to the house is that you get a dynamic IP address at the wall plate via an RJ-45 ethernet jack - you don't need a "modem" inside the house (the "modem" capabilities, which includes signal conversion from fiber to copper based ethernet, are typically handled by the ONT box on the outside of your house). You can plug any computer, VoIP device, or router into the RJ-45 jack. You don't need to be concerned about a list of compatible "modems".

Regarding new providers, who owns the cables in the ground? Best hopes for additional competition will probably come from cell providers who are just now beginning to offer 5G based internet service to the home.

As far as spectrum and xfinity should a QUALITY company enter OUR market they will both be OUT. They are both expensive and repairs STINK.

Just moved here a month ago. Centric called me about service and offered 2 months free with no contract. Why wouldn’t I try it? Had a small issue when I moved in but they sent a tech out the same day free of charge. Also helped me program my tv’s. So far I love it and recommend it. Far better than the providers I’ve had in the past.

Centric is fiber all the way to the router and modem above the fridge. Super fast....loving it. Also, VP of operations for Centric was driving down the street and stopped to ask if everything was working good and if I was happy with their service? Gave me is personal card. This company is great with customer service so far.

Just signed up for Centric and service will start on April 26. We are in a new build home in Newell. We just need wi-fi so interested to see how Centric works with all of our devices plus streaming.

We also recently bought a home in Newell and signed up for Centric Fiber. Two months free and its month to month. We just used the Internet service. Made a call and they emailed us a password and everything worked fine. The house was already to go, they didn't even have to come.
