Re: Any update on FIOS availability?
Sucks that I'm in the same boat as "emt1 @covad.net". I'd really like to see FIOS but then again I hear SBC is going to roll out ADSL2+ or something somewhere time (in the distant) future.

| Well, in much of SBC's territory, they have to compete with cable, and some of those cable companies have to compete with RCN. RCN is offering 10Mb/s service now and based on their trials in DC will soon offer 20Mb/s down, 2Mb/s down as their top tier. In San Francisco and Chicago, that is what SBC and Comcast's competition is offering. It will be interesting to see if the ever respond.

| RCN has only very small pockets of availability in California -- mostly near San Mateo. They're not really a "serious" competitor out here because of how small their footprint is. It's sorta like how no one takes Charter seriously in Northern California. They have a small pocket of service near Gilroy and that's it. The rest of their "network" is in Southern California. |
