Where did you end up running the fiber to, and how did you find out about this nearest connection point? Thank you for sharing your experience, very inspiring.
I had to build it 2 miles north to a fiber rich intersection. Even with it there it doesn't mean anyone will sell to you. I kept getting results a mile east or west of where I was going. Things like fiber locator or infrarpedia can help you figure out who is there.
