Re: Goodbye and thanks for all the bits

what is stupid is not even making an effort to lay a fiber network... not even starting... you don't need 100000000 dollars to start and you couldn't lay all that fiber in a day... ****!!!

They laid fibre into Perth. It is a comparatively easy town to do so . Laying fibre into Toronto on the other hand would be ridiculously expensive. The cost to dig up a street is just phenomenal ... there aren't tunnels everywhere. The trouble is that Toronto is the place you'd really want to lay in fibre to the home to make money because of the population density to make the money. Towns like Perth are great for a trial, but not for making money!

Having a FTTH network in the middle of nowhere means nothing when 99.999999% of their customer base is still on the incumbent carriers.

Except that any city worth laying fiber in has exclusive long term contracts with the likes of Bell and Rogers. They have legal monopolies and the only way around it is line sharing.
