[Internet] Frontier bringing fiber to Raleigh/Durham

»wraltechwire.com/frontie ··· 4096235/
quote:
Sources had told WRAL TechWire that Frontier and American Tobacco, which is owned and operated by Capitol Broadcasting, would announce fiber-speed access availability in the former tobacco factory complex, and Frontier confirmed that in an announcement early Monday.

Frontier describes Thursday's news as "a major announcement regarding the company’s network investment that will impact local residents and commercial establishments. An upgrade will enhance the Durham network, bringing higher broadband speeds to customers."
Given that it's Frontier, I have my doubts about the scope of this FTTN/FTTH deployment. But if they're actually going to make make fiber widely available, I'm excited. Anything that can keep me from having to go back to TWC is great news, in my mind.

Thoughts?
