Currently we have multiple business fiber installs in AT&T territory that will not be installed for months. These are in built up areas what is really "strange' is that the AT&T people tell us off the record that the delays are due to lack of installer resources to do the installs.
My first fiance's father was a VP of something or other at AT&T. From the stories he told, there was an enormous amount of deadwood in the organization that couldn't be gotten rid of except through the passage of time or early retirement incentives. They were investing enormously in fiber infrastructure, but there was a shortage of fiber personnel, and a glut of copper union employees that wouldn't retrain.
