I was wondering that myself. Surely it can't cost $800 simply to "turn on" the service at an already-connected location? If that's the case, they've got a lot more problems than simple subscriber churn. :huh:
Actually, it can. The sat providers figure it costs them around $600 every time they sign up a customer. One reason that's so high is advertising and marketing costs. The other is that maintaining a fleet of trucks and installers isn't cheap, even if all they do is drop of a modem.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19653667 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 19:55:55 EDT Re: Short on information http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19653031 Rogue Wolf : I was wondering that myself.

I can't believe that Utah is seeing such explosive housing growth that people will build houses, have FTTH connected and then move out before the muni project sees a return on the layout investment.

If so, once each "house" has had it done then it is no longer an issue.
