	This is common sadly.  I had fiber 1200' from my house that was
unused and there may be no record of it, etc.. so it's just not possible
to happen.  Same goes for areas that have long-haul fiber passing them
but can't get service.

	Not everyone is that lucky, but I've seen places with 2-3 fiber
providers that pass them and none offer service.
