Is google fiber still expanding and taking on new customers? I was sure I saw it on that killedbygoogle site ages ago.

Are they still reusing ghost fibre and doing micro-trenching, or are they taking a different angle now?

Yep, they're still expanding! It was all brand new fiber installations across several neighborhoods here. Dug up the streets everywhere for a few months. Mesa just opened up access to anyone that wants to install fiber. I know of different 3 vendors in the area who installed their own new lines.

I was surprised they jumped to our neighborhood so soon. I don't live near downtown Mesa where they started. But I am near a lot of new datacenters.
