As an Aggie and former Bryan / College Station resident (of 15 years), it's fantastic to see them taking a lead on this. BCS has always been pretty good for high speed internet (I had 2Mbps cable in 1999), but the price disparity between residential and business is insane, and speed increases have stalled somewhat in recent years. Suddenlink is pretty good, but that area has been the target of rather frequent cable company acquisitions and mergers (TCA -> Cox -> Suddenlink just while I was there), so it's not a foregone conclusion that things will stay "ok". I love living in SF, but I have to admit I kind of like the idea that my "little Texas town" will probably get gigabit and a sensible fiber infrastructure long before SF or most parts of Silicon Valley will.
