Absolutely true. I have property about 30 miles north of WB and Frontier told me they can't get a technician out to replace my service until January.

It would be faster for me to crawl on the ground to the nearest PoP and plugin to a GPON port then it would be for me to wait for them.

Yes (I have my own version of this story that involves drilling holes in a mountain top for a tower, pouring concrete, deploying my own solar power system, microwave links, ...) however note that Frontier are making money by not providing you service. There is no mythical better ISP who will spool fiber 30 miles out to you, and will then sit back making money. They will go broke.
