Re: I have Fiber in my front yard - What now?

You do realize that T1's are incredibly slow right? Why would he want that? The entire point of this thread is he prolly wants something fast(ie fiber)

You do realize that T1's are 10 - 12 times faster than the ISDN/IDSL options the others suggested and about 27 times faster than the absolute best possible speed you could hope for on dial-up (I used 56K for the dial-up comparison, real world speeds will only drive the margin higher in favor of the T1)? Tell me, how is that slow? Sure it is dwarfed on the download side by almost any "normal" broadband connection but he can't get those options so to him a T1 is the fastest thing he could reasonably get unless a Wisp is in his area.

If he really wants to pursue the fiber which we have already told him is likely not an option that is fine. I am simply giving him another option that will likely come out at the same price as the ISDN when you factor in the connection costs given the link posted earlier did not offer unlimited service. Sure a T1 can't hope to compete with the price point of fiber, assuming you don't have to factor in build out costs, but in this case you do so I don't see it as a price competitive option.
