[Davisgig] Comcast 2 Gbps Residential FTTH offer - Thoughts?

[Shneor Sherman]

Seems to me the more serious issue is the mayor's proposed utility users tax on the 2016 ballot. I doubt that both that and a parcel tax couls pass. Maybe this item could be rolled into the utility tax proposal. That could also increase the payback time to 30-40 years.

 I'll
 believe it when Comcast starts work on getting the permits.
 Until then, it's FUD to scare off competition.
 As for pricing, I'd guess $300
 if there's no competition from a municipal offering.
 $75-$100 if there is.
 And, of course, with Comcast's
 unrivaled (not in a good way) service.

 The
 quetion is, what would it cost for gigabit service? Do you
 have to subscribe to Comcast cable for this? Would there
 still be metering and different speeds for different
 providers? Not to mention lousy customer service. So,
 maybe.

      Hi
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
      Please take a look at

      Looks like Davis would be part of the Sacramento
 Metro
 
  Area here.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
      Sorry Arbuckle!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
      Does anyone think that a municipal or community
 fiber
 
  owned network
 
 
 
 
 
      would be appealing after this is available?
