To be clear, fiber is missing in many places, but it's not just for billionaires. I have it and I live in a very small, very insignificant town.
I used to live in San Diego, in the middle of a very dense section of the city, though... And zero fiber options were there. I was paying $80 a month for 400 down and 15 up. So embarrassing...
I get 1gbit up and down now for $40 a month.
So, it's bullshit, and I agree with you. But fiber does exist. I don't have any idea why some areas get it, and others don't, but in San Diego the issue was non-compete agreements between ISP's.
