Yes, it became expensive to trench and they had lots of technical difficulties with the 'last mile" old copper pipes.

Google Fiber is scaling back as well and looking for a last mile wireless solution because of the expense of trenching cable and all the red tape they have had to cut thru.
Even Google cant beat market costs for that last mile. They have a shit ton of cash to spend but why on solving the last mile? They got a huge pile of money by not being stupid. Wireless is the future, not cables.
