I'm still stunned there isn't a unified service that can tell you WHERE FIBER IS AVAILABLE BY ADDRESS throughout the country or just in specific cities. Even Google Fiber's dedicated map is horrible and incredibly annoying to grok.

Literally, has anyone at this address had a FTTH connection installed? I'd even pay $12/mo or a one time fee to check. So it sounds like Chattanooga apts likely won't have support anytime soon?

You have to shop around. I lived in apartments that allowed either, and I've come across plenty that are still Comcast only.

The ones that let EPB in tend to advertise it more since so many apartments still do lock in.

One apartment would let you wire EPB, but you still had to pay Comcast a fee as part of rent. Super messed up.
