| Sounds good If they deliver what they are promising I would be impressed. What this company is proposing is a big step up from what Surewest offers. Surewest currently offers only 10Mbps and 20Mbps symmetrical connection along with the triple-play voip phone and iptv. Fision says they are going to offer all a 50, 75, and 100Mbps tier and offer more channels for TV. This is what I wish surewest would do. If all goes well for this company I would be envious.
Here is my guess on what base pricing would be.
$40-50 10Mbps
$70-90 25Mbps
$100-125 50Mbps
$150-175 75Mbps
$200-250 100Mbps
If you expect it to cost a lot less than that here in the US you are crazy. If this company prices it much higher than that then they are just being greedy. If they set prices lower I would be shocked considering how much it costs to install a high-speed fiber network. |

| Well, I'm signed up on their early registration list, but have not heard anything about availability or prices yet, hopefully it will develop soon, 10/10, would be a dream come true |

| Has anybody in their test neighborhood in houston noticed any work being done. Like streets being dug up or people working on telephone poles. I am curious if they have started laying fiber yet or if this early sign-up is more of a market prospect thing to see if people are interested. For all you know they don't even have construction permits yet. It would probably take at least 6 months for them to get a network built and up and running properly so unless they have already started it may be awhile before you see these services.
I don't think it is a coincidence that the service is similar to Surewest who bought Winfirst when they went bankrupt. Winfirst was originally planning to build 100Mbps fiber networks in Sacramento, San Diego, Houston, Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, and Las Vegas. Sacramento was the only area that was deployed before they went bankrupt. They already had regulatory approval to build a network in Texas and that left it open for another company to provide what Winfirst was never able to. Now this company seems to be filling the void that Winfirst left when they went bankrupt. Its also worth noteing that it seems like from the video they are using the same Amino equipment that Winfirst used. |

| You live in Pearland? Heh, I do too... I actually called these people up and they said it would be a while before the service is in this area. He said like 2 years, which basically means 2 bad instead. Hopefully the guy just didn't know what he was talking about. I've had to suffer with ISDN for god knows how long not because I'm out of reach but because a silly cable company has claimed my area and has decided not to do anything in this area they have claimed, when my friend less than a mile down the street can get Road Runner cable with reliable download rates of up to 800KB/sec.... How lame is that? I have seen a whole bunch of construction down on the sides of some roads, digging up a bunch of crap next to the street every like 100 feet, although that could be something completely different than this, I haven't really payed much attention to it.
Like a few other people have said in here before, they can bring that fiber my way, don't think anyone will mind  , It'd be a dream come true... |
