They way they did it in my area, which I'm sure is not unique, is they ran fiber down the main streets and trunked off that into the neighborhoods. Massive bandwidth potential using that method.

I'd like to cut a 24" piece of that off the spool and beat them with it :-) No really, I'm not that upset :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stuart Pierce" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 14, 2003 4:45 PM Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Why not to use smartBridge... > They must be dropping one of their video channels, like food channel of afghanistan, to get the extra speed. > > ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- > From: "John Banes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2003 13:25:53 -0800 > > >They are advertising enhanced 4.0M/384K starting at $80 > > > >http://work.comcast.net/commuter.asp > > > > > >----- Original Message ----- > >From: "Stuart Pierce" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Sent: Friday, November 14, 2003 1:17 PM > >Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Why not to use smartBridge... > > > > > >> > >> Is it really that speed though ? > >> > >> ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- > >> From: "Rick Kosick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >> Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2003 12:46:51 -0500 > >> > >> >Well we're getting close to free. > >> >They started offering the $19.95/month for 12 months.
