Who operates the cables going from an ISP’s servers to a home? (in the US)

249 viewsOtherTechnology

I was wondering who operates each part of the cabling system for internet signals from an ISP to the home, like the ones from the neighborhood fiber to an individual home, and if the cables are shared between different ISPs or if each has their own and how they direct the cables to another ISP if a user changes their ISP.

A Telecommunications company (could be the same as the ISP) owns the customer network. The lines from them to the internet are handled by a carrier provider.. Level 3 is a big one in the US.
