| FTTH is the real deal
I doubt anything will change at the federal level. And that's too bad. For those who have FTTH, the fast connection enables you to use the Internet much more effectively. The only bad thing is that everyone doesn't have it yet. At least FTTH is going into some new construction now, and is being deployed in some communities. My homeowner's assoc. just got »www.paxio.com and it is incredible.

There are certainly overbuilds, but you won't typically find them in a BELL network or Cable network.
Curious, how does the ftth make anyone "use the internet more effectively"? What do you mean?
What's your PC setup to sustain the transfer throughput?
I think I max at 66mb but haven't had a chance to test in "slowsky" territory (and MDU - 600 units in a city block go figure).
If paxio has an exclusive arrangement..be careful long term...though that upload is worthy of selling my soul...unless you are subbing to an hdtv service, what are you doing with that speed (pricewise it sure beats a t1 or ds3!)?

Frankly, I fight any effort of my association to get into the telco business or sign off on long term commits...I still prefer to keep my business between myself and a provider, not an association.
Haven't read all of the details, but it looks interesting.
1.5 meg is sorta a ripoff...but it depends on your needs  |

Jesus, sweet Jesus. How are those rates possible, thats not even 1/10th the real world cost? Are datacenters and backbone carriers really ripping off business customers that bad?
And oh BTW, with those speeds, have fun maxing out your HD's read speed. You will never hit 100mbit in real life unless you have RAID. |
