Dont mean to be a pain but how do you plan to keep the funding there to run the network? An all fiber network is expensive. I am actually curious not trying to troll.
A fiber network may be expensive to build but it is actually cheaper to run than a copper network. The cost of maintenance is lower because you don't have to worry about all of those copper lines that need conditioning.

Also, if you want to increase the bandwidth the network can support, all you need to do is upgrade the equipment at both ends of the fiber link. Increasing bandwidth through copper is much more expensive as you would have to upgrade/replace most if not all of the equipment that moves the signals between both ends of the link - that's much more work to do to add capacity. And on top of all of that, you need to add the cost of the electricity to maintain the signals moving through copper.

Head to head a fiber network vs a copper network, fiber will win every time. It will only get cheaper to build these fiber networks as time goes on.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-There-is-more-21875517 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 17:06:13 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-There-is-more-21875477 AND
100/100 mbps intranet speeds for all
AND
At those prices? Wow.

Competition? You guys blow the big ISPs completely away.

Too bad the big ISPs won't follow your example. I can only hope other municipalities do.

Now, can you come to my town and do the same thing? lol

Seriously though, I'm sure a lot of ISP people are wondering what type of infrastructure you guys are using.

Best of luck to y'all! Hope you can make AT&T and Cox compete by putting fiber in the ground! Though they can't math your prices...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-There-is-more-21874092 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 12:58:38 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/There-is-more-21873874
