“BGP peering in a residential setting proved to be an entirely different story.”
One provider quoted $128k to run 1,148 feet of fiber to a house. Verizon called the home “on net” and still charged $455 a month for 50Mbps, with about $365 of that going to the port. Then the Universal Service Fund adds roughly 30% on top of the port fee. Getting a routable network into a living room is easy for anyone who already owns a datacenter cage.
