Comcast for decades have said on their website they support my parent's address but they obviously do not since there are no cables on the poles for Internet. We've tried calling and asking to fix it and we've tried calling to just get someone out so we can prove they don't service it but each time we scheduled an appointment nobody showed up and when calling back they would say they never set one up. So I'm pretty sure you're correct.
I know they are correct:
TL;DR: they took billions from the government to build fiber infrastructure then said, "sorry that wasn't enough. Give us more and we swear we'll build it this time." They just pocketed the money.
