Didn't Google fiber either shut down or at least stop expanding?

They started to cancel it and then they canceled the cancelation. It's Google after all.

This explanation makes the most sense

They obviously didn’t shut down since they are still making headlines.

Only in certain places. They keep growing where I’m at.

I think they slowed their expansion of new, unannounced cities. If they announced or started work in an area, it will very likely be finished. I think all of their "easy" targets were hit, others have fiber competitor or difficulties, and rollouts were more expensive than anticipated.
