I'm speculating that $500 is enough for the construction crews to run it from the office to the curb or pole. When a person actually orders a service over fiber, and installer comes with the ONT and runs fiber from the pole or pedistal to the ONT, and gets the service working. And that they intend to account for the actual installation cost in a seperate account.
Maybe the actual connection is a separate cost if someone subscribes. Obviously this would make most sense. Make the service available and only if the customers subscribes would you finish the install.
So in you experience, would you say it costs more or less to install FTTH in a denser population?
