Ever since we went to HUB66 family members spend more time at camp working from home. Guests, too. It surprises me that services would be added for small number of customers. Is this (optical) part of the federal program to expand broadband in rural areas?

My bad, it is Consolidated, former Fair Point. Next year will see what the deal is vs HUB66.
