| rich peeps+fiber you know what the REAL kicker is, these rich places that homes cost like 300,000dollars or more are the 1s that are getting the fiber optic connections i think because the isp thinks well if they can afford these kind of homes why not try to sell them our product, how more down-right dirty is that? places like where i live middle-class neighborhood and were still stuck with cable or dsl ..i mean kmon these fiber isps need to think of more than just these rich places to expand the fiber id be willing to get fiber if it was avaiable.

I read the article in a newspaper. I believe those Palo Alto houses are more like $600,000+ instead of $300K. |

300k, 600k, it's all out of reach to most people. Just as an example, in my county of Mendocino, there are currently 15 homes over 1800 square feet for sale between Redwood Valley(my humble abode)and Hopland, and all of them are over 400k. Now the average salary in this area is somewhere around 25-30k a year, it's getting to be a crisis. High cost of living, bad economy, lack of good paying jobs(unless you want to commute to SF every day , and some people here do) |
