       | Coverage seems vast but sparse

         | living abroad and have 350 mbit up by default. It's considered
         | crappy for the area. Max you can get on consumer GPON in UK is
         | 100. It'd certainly suck for you to wait only to get the last
         | rollout of last gen tech

         | Sometimes they are caused by property owners not allowing entry

         | Eventually those properties will have to be dealt with, but a
         | legal change may be necessary.
