Wow, that FTTH pricing is pretty bad. Is that Home Town Cable in Ohio?
5M upload @ $39.95/month standalone is incredibly good - and when you consider the population density, its fantastic.
How much did the taxpayers contribute to achieve that price?
(Answer: About $9 million to Wabash Mutual Telco and HomeTown Cable, to service a county of 15K households, of which nearly all, already had broadband. Your tax dollars at work.)
