I do know that AT&T has a fiber line that runs through my neighborhood, yet I can’t get fiber internet

The local exchange carriers (LECs) typically change from plain olds telephone system (POTS) to fiber at the neighborhood level. Coax carriers also.

Fiber to the neighborhood is already there. It’s not hard to run a line across a neighborhood to connect whatever on either side.

The difficult part is getting from a neighborhood connection to each individual home. It’s a flower pot install on each property, all connected together underground, and it can’t fuck with gas, water, sewer, etc.
