wow. like i read all over this i agree that some of you are jealous. i live in a small town in upstate new york. we pay our taxes just as you do. and in nys we have some of the highest taxes in the u.s. and not all of us here in nys live in nyc. i hate when you tell people you live in nys and they automatically assume that your from nyc. just because 9 million people live there doesnt mean im one of the 9 million, im one of the 30 million in nys who dont. but anyways. my local telco, Taconic which is owned by FairPoint communications is currently laying fiber optics along the roadway so that they can initiate their fiber to the home plan. it is the best thing in the world. see you guys who live in major cities already have access to tons of high-speed providers. where i live it was like 20kbps dial-up. yea. until about 2 years ago. then the one and only dsl option came from the local telco. and the cost is $50 a month for 256/128 .. so yes.. dont complain. our ftth will mean lower costs to us. and speeds that we have never seen. if you city boys want those faster speeds then move your a$$ out here and stop crying because you think its wrong that small town people get something better then what you have.. you could also get off your lazy a$$ and go to your town/city and tell them you want ftth or write a letter to your telco/cable company. and im pretty sure you wont do any of that so stop complaining. and since my telco is over 100 years old, they replaced their copper in 1990 and increased their fiber in 1990 also, that means its time for an upgrade and with the cost of copper, fiber is a more viable solution. its not my problem that the cities layed their fiber like 10 years ago and to them it is still considered new. so you will have to wait a couple more years and they will begin replacing your fiber again.
