Re: A little less

re: "They are just playing with numbers to make it all sound horrible... "

Not really. I don't think spending $9K+ a home for a network connection that will be cutting edge for decades is a bad idea.

I'm playing with numbers to point out that installing fiber is not cheap. If it were, AT&T, Qwest, and the old BellSouth would have already done it to 100 percent of their homes.

Verizon's definitely breaking new ground with FiOS, but the cost of doing nothing is far, far greater.
