The tech who got shot was a QC guy, does that mean we have started fiber in Bridgeport leaving the Litchfield Headend the most outdated and smallest workforce?

So, poor people aren’t good enough for fiber to their home. sounds like European classism to me. Or something a little more American?
Sitting on Dexter’s desk is a spreadsheet named “Tri-State Demographics 2018”. In it, you’ll see a comprehensive breakdown of per capita income for each franchise controlled by Altice. They’ve been prioritizing where they run fiber based upon this report and also, how many projected new subs they can steal away from their competitors in any given area.
So, for example:
-
Morris Township,NJ would take precedence over a Paterson,NJ
-
in the Bronx, Country Club would take precedence over Highbridge
etc.
Hmm what towns do you think are cherry pickable, I have an idea I think
A little perspective on this "aggressive" fiber to the home project:
-
There's 29,000 customers in Litchfield system. (all 8 towns) --- For comparison, there's 132,000 customers coming out of the Hicksville Hub / 70,000 coming out of Hub A of the Bronx system
-
Litchfield has very low HPM (homes per mile)
-
Dexter NOT gonna invest the millions required to rebuild that area. We're talking hundreds of miles of fiber, of which, a significant amount would have to be installed underground.
-
What kind of return would they see on such an investment, if any?
-
What new services will be provided to the customer other than 10G/bit bandwidth? at what cost?
-
Probably be more profitable to sell off Litchfield system to Spectrum.
-
Or just cherry pick a couple of small pockets of the plant so they can satisfy their investors.
