Re: Columbus?i would gladly pay up to $150 for this service in Columbus. Being stuck with TWC and their 50/5 stinks. | |

CBell will never expand out side of their area unless they purchase another failed Muni project like they did a few years ago. Purchased an HFC network from a city, and turned it into an FTTH network. | |

$850 per home passed$850 per home passed, not too shabby of an investment for a product that's future proof for at least the next 10 years... | |

West Chester PleasePlease consider moving into West Chester next. The slower FiOptics isn't enough (I can only get 20 mbps down). If you are going to do it, please bring Gigabit speeds to as many homes as possible. Including those with underground cable. Thank you for considering. | |

FiberDifference between this and other 1 gig rollouts from ATT etc, is that they actually already have a decent fiber footprint. | |

Re: FiberCinciBell is also much smaller as well. They cover a very small area compared to AT&T and they don't have a national cellular network that they are pushing either. CinciBell had a small regional GSM network but as Karl said- sold that to VZW (surprised it didn't go to TMO or AT&T as they were partners). | |

Cincinnati Bell should buy Verizon WirelineCincinnati Bell, use the money Verizon paid for your wireless service against Verizon to buy their remaining wireline footprint and deploy a 100% fiber optic network.
While you are at it, buy Frontier too. | |

CyrusOneIt was a smart move for them to spin off Cyrus One and let them be their own company but still colocate in them.
Although as far as companies not giving actual numbers- you shouldn't hit about other providers such as ATT, you should mention Google who doesn't since they're also hiding their numbers. | |

$80-85M sounds cheap."In 2015, the company says it will spend between $80 million and $85 million to pass another 100,000 homes with the speedy service."
EPB spent almost $750 Million to pass a similar number of homes.
Is it $80-85 just pass 100k homes or $80-85 to pass and deliver to 100k homes? | |

Re: $80-85M sounds cheap.They have used $750 Million in Bonds and Grants to build their fiber network. I'm guessing they have somewhere around 100-120k power customers and the last I heard they have somewhere in the 60-70k fiber customers in the last few months.
It's hard to figure out exactly what goes where with the way the comingle money between the Fiber and Power sides of the house. | |

Redeeming QualityCan you believe it.... there's actually a reason to move to Cincinnati. (... with apologies to all the good people of that city for this somewhat back-handed compliment...) | |

Wish SNET stayed independentWe'd have fiber in CT too. Now Frontier is just screwing us. | |

SymmetricGot the 1gbps last week. Talking to the tech (who seemed smart for once!) was talking about future expandability. They are working on upgrading their backhaul and should roll out symmetric 1gpbs (currently 1gig/250meg) sometime this year. | |
