You should avoid citing that page; it's not credible. A specific instance that I know of is Sebewaing Light and Power in Michigan. They built out a publicly owned fiber network that now has over 500 of 1700 residents as customers as of June and will break even in 2018, earlier than expected, whereas your site claims there are only 150 customers. That site was created by Taxpayers Protection Alliance which a Koch front group.
