Right as rain. The cost of laying and installing the fiber is the real killer. Most bore underground which is time consuming and very costly. I don't know of any company local to where we are located that even offers micro-trenching, which still isn't cheap by any means.
Some of your fiber will more than likely (20%?) need to be arial. Good flipping luck with working with the local power company that owns those poles. They will NOT go out of their way to help you. In fact, they will discourage it. Some companies just throw in the towel rather than go this route. Our local power company will only issue permits with a small window for only a stretch of poles for the guys installing the fiber. You get it done during that allotted time or you are SOL. Not to mention you'll be paying for the use of those poles for the life of the fiber. Hell, they charge a fee just to issue you a permit to install.
Even municipalities have to jump through hoops to make it all happen and funding is only half the problem.
PER COINBASE:
We are reaching out because you have linked your PayPal account to your Coinbase account.
We are pausing the availability of PayPal as a payment method as of February 23, 2018. If you would like to use PayPal as a payment method for sells on Coinbase, please do so before February 23.
After February 23, customers will be able to withdraw USD using a linked bank account.
We think it’s important to share some context for this decision: the Coinbase customer base grew significantly in late 2017 and we’re prioritizing our engineering team’s efforts on scaling our platform overall for higher uptime and reliability. We realize that pausing PayPal as a payment method on Coinbase will be frustrating for some customers, but we feel that prioritizing efforts to ensure Coinbase is available during periods of high traffic benefits customers more in the near term.
We hope to have PayPal re-enabled as a payment method for customers later in 2018.
Thank you for being a customer,
The Coinbase Team

I get a far better response from my dog.
