We the consumers are the ones who paid the infra with our monthly teleco bill.

It really doesn’t pay for the billions in infra, maintenance and personnel. You’d have to pay quite a bit more.
In my country 45.6 million homes pay each month around +30€ to have fiber to the home.

That is around 162 billion a year in cash flow.

The biggest provider operational costs are aroud 37B. For everything, not only fiber. And controls 50% of the FTTH market.

I mean is quick maths but looks like it does pay for it.
