When it is completed they will realise they need to go to the home because in 10 years when they complete it *im guessing* people will likely want/need the bandwidth.
In Adelaide we have a one way highway that changes direction at different times of the day. This means that for a few hours every day it is doing nothing, just waiting for people to be clear so that they can send traffic in the other direction. When it was built it was the only one like it in the world. Now they have decided that it needs to go in both directions so they are adding to it (it was 2 lanes). On top of the cost of building gates and lights telling people what direction it is going at every exit and entrance which will be useless. We pay for them to duplicate a road which will likely cost them more than if they just did it in the first place.
If I were buying or building a house and was offered fiber to the home for ten thousand dollars, I would pay it with no hesitation.
