But, they also said that they'd guarantee me at least twice my current speed, which is only 1.5/890 non-rt fed. Logged in, of course, and no dice.

Bottom line, is something happened in the Minneapolis / St Paul market that they're offering ADSL2.

$200 bucks a sub for an FTTN deployment, this is definitely going to be high income, high homes per mile thing that's for sure!
.. and why is that? I don't understand this belief system that high income homes spend more money on television, broadband, and telephone services - that's not necessarily true.

They are more stable in their paying habits, but as for them spending more? Not that I've seen anywhere.

Usually poor or low income families will dump more money into the extra RGU's before the high income family. HIFs tend to spend less on television services and encourage their kids/family to do other activities. Trust me, rich people don't get rich by spending money.

$200/sub is NOTHING compared to what Verizon and some other companies are spending. The difference in price is mainly that it is FIBER TO THE NODE and NOT FIBER TO THE HOME.... Personally, I think FTTH is a much better investment since it is nearly limitless compared to FTTN.

Verizon is spending around 4 times that for FIOS; $200/sub isn't that high at all.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19351305 Tue, 30 Oct 2007 14:12:42 EDT Re: About Time http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19351261 odog : $200 bucks a sub for an FTTN deployment, this is definitely going to be high income, high homes per mile thing that's for sure!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19351261 Tue, 30 Oct 2007 14:04:36 EDT About Time http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19351177 partysource : Whoo Hooo
