It will take around 25 miles of installation to lay fiber, nodes, ONTs, etc., and it’s expected to cost over $30 million (labor included). This is just the final stretch. Your existing backbone, core switch, core router, and DHCP servers are still in place. Labor might be half the total expense, but hardware remains the biggest investment.

In that situation yes, hardware isn't the main issue. I got confused when people mentioned utility poles and assumed it related to fiber.
