In a heartbeat for fiber to my house.

I am sure most broadband users here would drop that kind of money in a heartbeat. I know I would. However, would common broadband users? I can tell you that a majority of users out there who just surf a little and get their email wouldn't. Heck, they can't fathom paying more than $45 a month for their service. So yes, this is the reason why fiber isn't deployed everywhere. Not every area can afford it much the less pay for it. You will see this in rich suburbs where a majority of people would pay for the service before you will see it anywhere else.

That is the one drawback of fiber is the cost of equipment and last mile install. We ran 500 feet of fiber and the equipment and fiber costed us over $3,000. That is a heck of a lot of money. However, no signal depravation like you would see over 328 feet with ethernet.

Me too. I actually paid $800 installation & equipment for DSL a few years ago, and was mighty glad to be able to get it at all.

Edit: And before that I paid over $1000 for ISDN.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11559983 Mon, 11 Oct 2004 17:33:32 EDT Re: Id pay 1K activation fee http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11558415 techjoe :

However - I think people would have been more enthusiastic about this before cable started rolling out 3+ mbps connections.

There are installation costs associated with both sides of the dmarc and my guess most of that $1,000 is paying for the Verizon side.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11557339 Mon, 11 Oct 2004 12:31:51 EDT Re: Id pay 1K activation fee http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11557303 vic102482 :
