FYI, there is now Comcast fiber in that neighborhood,  I believe it
travels along Plainfield and then turns west down Knapp.  There is a
termination point at my employer's facility on Ann & Monroe;  they ran a
new leg of fiber to get to there - so anyone near there should be able
to get fiber connectivity without having to pay much in build-out costs
[or at least a whole heck of a lot less in build-out costs, it was
several miles from the previous junction/end-point].  Comcast fiber is
overheard in that area, and the lines are intermittently labeled [says
"COMCAST"],  whereas AT&T fiber in that neighborhood is all underground
[there is AT&T fiber under Ann St].  AT&T fiber services provide OptEMan
and support EVCs while Comcast fiber can be provisioned as
point-to-point between two facilities and allows for Layer 2 / VLAN
tagging.

I don't believe there is much overlap or commingling of Comcast
residential 'cable' and Comcast fiber services.
