That was an interesting lawsuit that played out where you live. Sounds like it (somewhat) worked out in favor of residents and business with the competition of FTTP providers? I also heard way up north, along Highway 2, many in the boonies have the option of FTTP since they were stuck with dial-up for so long and the demand for residential and business broadband was there- and I suppose there are plenty of places to dig for the lines. So much for technological bragging rights from a city slicker stuck with cable! --- JEREMY MOUNTAINJOHNSON jeremy at jskier.com [1] On Thu, 8 Jul 2010 04:07:21 -0500, swede wrote: The problem is, you guys are too close to the city...

I have my choice of TDS (They suck because the sued the city to stop them from putting in their own FTTH, but the service and prices are good) And Monticello Fiber (They suck because they lied about costs and there's no real support and most of the guys are just leaning on shovels all day.) http://sites.google.com/site/tdsvsfnm/home [3] I'm not sure what the business rates are though.
