Pittsburgh has a wireless community network, http://www.pittmesh.net http://www.pittmesh.net, which is run by Meta Mesh Wireless Communities, https://www.metamesh.org https://www.metamesh.org. I'm involved! MMWC doesn't have its own fiber but does have access to KINBER's PennREN fiber network, a little-known gem in the commonwealth that happens to run down Fifth Ave and a few other main roads in the city. We're working on rolling out access to it. As we're a donations- and grant-funded non-profit, our rollout will be slower than a commercial operation. Pittsburgh has a lot of fiber running through it, but most of it is commercial backbone fiber. One data center that I know of had 12 ISPs peering with it, and that was in 2009. Only Verizon FiOS has executed a residential rollout in the city, and you can read more about folks opinions on that in /r/pittsburgh. I've passed this thread to the MMWC executive team for them to add more detail!
