Re: Thanks for the support

"It's not that wild of concept. People pay that much for HDTV, for a Spa, commercial stove/oven. If Inet is a huge hobby or you run a home business paying 2-G's for FTTH is a valued home improvement."

It's a wild concept because $2K is not the cost of wiring a single home; it's the per-home cost of wiring ALL homes. Big difference.

Since that's the case you're right...$2K at the volume price is TOO much.

This might be a dumb question but what do you mean by the sentence above?

$2k is the volume discount meaning if you were the only one to get FTTH it would cost WAY more than $2K to do it. If you were to wire everyone the average per home cost would be $2K per.

I doubt that $2000 per household cost in volume is entirely accurate. Could just be SBC fudging the numbers enough to make it sound like a money pit.

True on that one, with SBC'S greedy people.
