$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! |

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.

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.
