some of these areas are fiber to the home
I seriously doubt this.
Fiber has been available in HA for years, but at prices which make it cheaper to move to Oahu.
Telcom can't do better than 25Mbit DSL in dense areas of Hilo (read: places with apartment buildings).
Nor does fiber deployment require a new "20 to 30 foot" cut.
Guess I'll wait for the HTH to report on this ... in 2019.
