I wonder if it’s because EBP is a utility and so has a mandate to run fiber to all homes in its area, as opposed to private ISPs that can pick and choose.

That could be. Sonic has pretty good coverage local from leasing fiber from AT&T. Even then there are still dead spots in my city where people are stuck with Comcast et al. They only recently rolled out their own fiber several months ago where I live. That day my speed went up 10x and the cost cut in half.

It's a no-brainer for people who live in their coverage area, yet as you say, their coverage isn't complete.

But it's still $50 for 10Gb where offered.
