Maybe fiber runs through that location? Digging is expensive no matter where you live. Adding a km of underground fiber seems very unlikely to hook up one person, but I’ll take your word for it.
It didn’t run through prior, they dug it a few years ago. And it’s not just one person, it’s lots of people, but they live out in the woods where the neighbors are far between. Everyone should have fiber. That’s the motto/goal, since decades back. It shouldn’t be a matter of cost, having access to a stable internet connection is basically a human right at this point, like running water or electricity. At least considered to be where I live.
Sure, except if you choose to live in the middle of nowhere it’s hardly fair for everyone else (government) to pay for your decision. It’s not like they owe you other utilities. A house you build off grid will stay that way unless someone pays to change that. Just like you can get well water and solar electricity, you can also get satellite internet. I suspect you’re still comparing one of the Nordic countries or GB to US without realizing just how vastly different population density is here.

I take it this isn’t the case in America.
