Hi,
This is a small "town" that is directly connected to my hometown
of Idaho Falls. The road I drive to work on, the west side of that
street is Idaho Falls, the east side is Ammon. We had a lot of
wireless customers in the Ammon area when I was a WISP. They have
been working on this fiber project for almost 10 years.
It's a very interesting way to do it. They have bundled the $3,000
installation into a low interest "bond" kind of thing that is
attached to the property... so that's about $15/month for 20
years. Then they have a small transport/utility fee for the fiber
itself of $16.50/month.
The most amazing part is the user can switch between providers
from a website, picking the speed and service that they want, and
it changes their service immediately. It will be interesting to
see how this goes. They are supposed to have their first
residential customer live by the end of this year.
They are saying 100Mbps x 100Mbps service would be about $60-$70
per month total (with $0 installation cost).
