Yeah, I unfortunately don't count right now, unless someone else in between us does:

> In order for the location to pre-qualify for Gigabit Pro Service, it must meet the qualifying distance factor. The location cannot be more than 1,760 ft. from the fiber splice case. Second, the cost cannot be more than $8,800 to build; this is determined based on whether the fiber is run underground or aerially. At some locations, the customer can be within the distance but cost is greater than the limit.

Coincidentally that's just about the total value of the 2 year contract plus fees.

($299.95 + $19.95) * 24 + 500 + 500 = 8677.6

That's an expensive two years of internet service.
