"were there end users on fiber?" Yes. Not many but yes. A large amount of their wireless backhauls terminated at data centers in SF, but some also "terminated" at buildings. These locations you could use webpass and basically be on fiber direct - though that wasn't the purpose. It was mostly so that they didn't have to backhaul connects ALL the way across the city and should a DC or major link go offline, it could reroute. Yay mesh networking. The difference between that and fiber is who owned the glass. All of what I mentioned above, to my knowledge, is glass leased from other companies (Ex: AT&T). Their fiber product is glass they dug up the street and laid themselves - directly from the DC. If you look at the fiber maps in SF ( https://webpass.net/fiber https://webpass.net/fiber ) they all start at 365 Main ( http://365datacenters.com/ http://365datacenters.com/ ). As a webpass customer, I have to say that weather and oversub have not been an issue for me for the last 3 years. For example this winter there was only 2 days where it rained hard enough (when it was REALLY coming down) to notice latency. In both cases it was for ~10mn and I only noticed because I was on SSH connections. Any muggle's netflix connection wouldn't even flinch.
