The Town of Wickenburg with the Wickenburg Chamber of Commerce is working to bring a modern infrastructure upgrade of fiber-based internet services to Wickenburg. Together they have reached out to Zona Wyyerd, which is a fiber-based internet services provider that operates in Peoria, Surprise, Buckeye and El-Mirage. This is an alternative to Cox and Lumen/Centurylink and provides phone, router/wi-fi, speeds (upload and download) up to ONE GB, no data caps, vacation services, free support and training for streaming services.

I think home users are going to be demanding more of their local governments going forward: the COVID-19 pandemic caused so many users to work at home, that they've become much more knowledgeable about data service, and speeds, ... and cost.
Municipal broadband is a win-win-win from a politician's perspective: it's a painless money tree that bears fruit every month, without fail, AND it garners lots of votes, AND it attracts high-end W-A-H users such as Lawyers, Accountants, and other professionals who pay their Broadband and their tax bills without question.
