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

Yes, and how much water will a sports park need? And if it's a sports part not usable by every Davis resident, this is the wrong way to go about paying for it. Users should pay all the costs if it's exclusive to them.

 I agree with
 what Steve and then Shneor wrote. I was mulling the
 "Sports park" proposal, and it occurred to me that
 more people would benefit from a gigabit fiber network than
 from a number of playing fields. Economically and
 educationally, there's much more for kids and local
 businesses (even if soccer and baseball teams eat a lot of
 oranges and chips, which my employer sells).

 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

   http://corporate.comcast.com/news-information/news-feed/2-gig-internet-california

       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?
