This is a list of companies building FTTH networks right now.
To be clear these are building their own networks and not using BT ( although I have included Openreach as they too are building)
It is not exhaustive, just the ones I know about.
You can try and test me on the telecoms sector but I have been in the industry for 25 years so knock yourself out.

What do you suggest?

I’m not sure the cable network is the best example of it being viable when NTL entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the process.

Glad you brought that up. Yes as part of the .com bubble. Many millionaires and billionaires financed the buildings of global fibre networks and lost the lot.
Massive infrastructure was built with private money, it didn’t stack up, it cost billions. But it got done and it’s legacy remains today. In a govt managed scenario two things would have happened:
1. It wouldn’t have been built to begin with
2. Tax payer would have payed for it.
Only laughable thing about that proposition is your inability to a.understand it, or b. Provide an intelligent answer to it.

Your ignorance is amazing, well done. Public financing with private professionalism and delivery - a perfect partnership.
