Re: It's not free

How long of a driveway are you talking about? Have a half--mile driveway back in Sisterdale, TX and that's not too big of a deal even for DSL. Sure it'll turn 12k feet to 15k feet, but it doesn't put broadband out of the question.

As to FTTH, it should be used instead of copper line maintenance. If the lines can hold a decent POTS signal and the phone company doesn't want to upgrade, Motorola Canopy, Alvarion BreezeAccess (cheapish) or WiMAX (expensive-ish) are options worth considering.
