The Bay Area other than South Bay is difficult. My city, San Leandro, has public&#x2F;private &quot;partnership&quot; fiber in the ground [0] for businesses. When I contacted them about residential, they let me know that they&#x27;d had a look and the demand just wasn&#x27;t there.<p>I took it further to see if I could get my building on it through one of the commercial partners (PAXIO) but the costs of building it out were pretty high (~$15k was what I was told) and I couldn&#x27;t convince my building management that paying for it would work out for them.<p>I really hope Google or someone does do this for the rest of the bay area but I think it&#x27;s more likely that Comcast will bring out DOCSIS 3.1 and everyone&#x27;ll be happy enough that nothing will happen.<p>[0]: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;litsanleandro.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;litsanleandro.com&#x2F;</a>
