This pattern has a simple reason. Broadband Internet providers are former TV and phone companies. So, they use these conveniently pre-built wired networks for delivering Internet services. Fiber service has been slowly expanding as an alternative. While not all "Fiber" plans are 100% "Fiber to the Home" (FTTH) connections, 98.49 percent of the area is covered by fiber reaching at least as far as the street nearby.
