If the telcos and cablecos want to hear more about muni fiber, then let them try this. One of the main things keeping muni fiber projects in check is the belief by many people that the service they have is good enough. If prices from these companies start to climb, then finding another option will appeal to many more people.
reply to ISurfTooMuch Our community was offerd a muni-fiber project (provided by our schools) we declined due to the fact that everyone (mostly the old farts) of the community thought verizon dsl was just fine enough. Comcast is the only real decent speed offering here sad to say.
