2002 I'm in high school and my ISP is Adelphia they lay fiber to my parents door I'm thinking oh shit I'm about to get fiber over 56k modem. One month later Adelphia is in chaos mode over the internal corruption allegations, noone answers the phone there. I have to do a who is look up to find the server room phone number to fix and issue"how did you get this number!?". one year later big telecom is backing the government to prosecute Adelphia. 2006 TWC buys the Adelphia network and rips any working fiber parts off the darkfiber network and sells it. Still to this day my whole street and most the county has a new darkfiber network and noone has ever used it. I'm still stuck with max speed of 70/5 for $100 here. There might be some corruption.
