Suspension of Disbelief

As a Verizon splicer I find it hard to believe the company could (even on a good day) provision and get working a 45Mbps line in five days. An order like that will have to pass thru at least five departments.

Does anyone have any really rich family or friends in Pennsylvania. Ask them to order a 45Mbps line and see how long it takes to install. If it even works at that speed once it's up is another question. It the Infrastructure in the state isn't good enough to support it you would be paying for 45Mbps and getting maybe 20Mbps even from someone across the county that also has a 45Mbps line.

I believe that if you get a 45Mbs (T3) line from Verizon or any other company that could give you one it would require fiberoptics to your location. I also believe that a T3 is not like DSL where you may not get the full Advertised speed. If you get a T3 you get fiber and the full 45Mbps that you are paying for. If it is a Pt to Pt T3 you will indeed get the full 45Mbs thru-put end to end. If it is a T3 to an Internet Provider the actual thru-put to the provider is 45Mbs but to the net depends on tons of factors that are out of the control of the T3 Provider.

As far as installation goes, if the provider including Verizon does not already have fiber to their location it would be a miracle if they could get it there in 5 days! In fact I suspect that it would not and could not happen!!
