Charter's fiber offering is not what I'd call 'to the pole'. Not by a long shot. It's very very expensive... on par with getting dedicated fiber run anywhere else, like from the phone company or some other provider. In fact the three places I know that have a fiber CBN connection... pretty much the same. One just happens to be across the street from a charter fiber-to-copper conversion point, so they were able to get it for only a couple tens of grand (to run fiber across the street and into their building), the others paid huge sums of money to get a fiber run in some cases MILES to their location. And the monthly cost is huge.
