Key points: they're expecting this effort cost $130-$150m, not pay for itself until 2033 or so, and only get around 28% market share. If Comcast/CenturyLink drops their prices slightly, uptake might be substantially worse.
- a_wild_dandan 7y agoComcast now (surprise, surprise) offers 1Gb lines for $90. I jumped on it. But when the city's fiber rolls out to my location, I'm sprinting toward Connexion. Cancellation fees be damned.
- bproven 7y agoYou will also get gig bi-directional with the city - afaik comcast is only offering 20-30Mbit uploads for their gig service. But yeah surprise! City announces city internet service and comcast slashes gig from $200-300 a year ago down to $70-90 lol
