The cutoff is $8000 if they’ll run fiber for you or not. It’s a strange service. 10Gb business-class fiber (non-GPON), some $10k juniper router to delineate the edge that they put in your house, and a backup gigabit cable connection for $300/mo. It’s the bargain of the century but I can’t imagine it’s for anything beyond advertising purposes.
- rayiner 3y agoI have had it since 2017, though they upgraded it to 10g a year or two ago. It’s not vapor ware. It’s just that $8,000 doesn’t buy you much distance (I think it’s 1/3 of a mile from the nearest fiber node).
- selectodude 3y agoOh I know it definitely exists, it’s just so far from residential grade and costs like 5% of what it would cost if you had a business. Strange product. I’m banned from upgrading beyond gigabit because my wife knows that I’d have to run fiber through the house so it’s all beyond my ability anyway. I’m jealous.
- trogdor 3y agoJust one anecdote here, but my house was built in 2019 and was networked with Cat5e. I successfully run 10GBaseT over the existing copper.
