Re: Id pay 1K activation fee

you and I both the speeds alone would save me time on the road and the less time i spend driving the safer my life is... Especially with the way people drive around here.

I wouldn't!

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.

Not a bad idea actually. 1k is a bit high, but I would go for a sub $500 install fee and sign a 1 year agreement for a certain level of service.

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

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.

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.
